Styria (province)



         


Styria (Štajerska in Slovenian) is an informal province (pokrajina) in northeast Slovenia, known for its white wine.

Major centres include Maribor, Celje and Ptuj. It is also called Lower Styria, or Spodnja Štajerska, as opposed to Upper Styria, a federal state of Austria. This reflects the division of Styria in 1918, when Austria-Hungary was dissolved.
