Settlements
🇸🇮 The Municipality of Miren-Kostanjevica is a municipality in western Slovenia, on the border with Italy.

Miren-Kostanjevica is part of the Goriška region of the Slovene Littoral, and its main settlements are Miren (the seat of the municipality) and Kostanjevica na Krasu. Miren is located in the lowest part of the Vipava Valley.

Historically, the area was connected with the neighbouring village of Savogna d'Isonzo (Sovodnje ob Soči), which was left in Italy after the Paris Peace Treaty of February 1947. Since the second half of the 19th century, Miren has been a commercial centre and a centre of light industry, strongly linked to the Gorizia and Monfalcone (Tržič) urban areas. Kostanjevica na Krasu, on the other hand, is a centre of a larger underpopulated rural area located on the high Karst Plateau. In the local self-government reform of 1994, the two centres united to form a single municipality. Since 1947, both localities have gravitated towards the Nova Gorica–Šempeter conurbation, where many locals commute daily.

Miren has a border crossing into Italy.
