The third-largest city of Slovenia, Celje, has been known since ancient times. In the Middle Ages the city was the center of the only Slovenian state that had managed to maintain the complete independence (Celje County). Therefore, the count's symbol (three stars) has become the emblem of the city and a part of the State Emblem.
The old count's castle, which has preserved here, is one of the city's major attractions.
