History
The Romans built a road on the route connecting Aquileia, Emona, Atrans, and Celeia. Trojane was an important way station, military post, and marketplace, and the town was surrounded by a defensive wall.
The archaeological remains of Atrans can be still seen in Trojane. In the Roman Empire, Trojane (Atrans) was on the border between Italy and the province of Noricum.
Popular culture
Trojane is particularly known for the local restaurant's jelly doughnuts (Slovene: krofi), originally made with apricot jam filling.[4] They also come in blueberry and chocolate flavour.
