Trojane (Latin Atrans), is a town in Central Slovenia. It lies on ahill near the border of two Slovene regions, Carniola (Kranjska) and Styria (Štajerska). Until the freeway was finished in 2005, Trojane was on the main route from Ljubljana to Maribor.
The ancient Romans built a Roman road on the route Aquileia-Emona-Atrans-Celeia. Trojane was a very important way station, military post, and marketplace, and the town was surrounded by a defensive wall.
