Activities in the monastery ended in the 19th century and the Austrian military later used the complex as a stronghold from which soldiers defended the bay. Later the building was the seat of the tax administration as well as the customs office. Portoroz Piran Obalno-kraska Slovenia June 2020. @csabaprog
