EspañolLOWER STYRIA
'Lower Styria' or 'Southern Styria' (; ; Latin: ''Styria'') is a region in northeastern Slovenia, comprising the southern third of the former Duchy of Styria. The northern two-thirds of the former duchy lie in southeastern Austria and are known as Upper Styria.
In Slovenia, it is simply referred to as ''Štajerska'', i.e. "Styria".
The Duchy of Styria was divided in 1918 after World War I, with the Kingdom of Yugoslavia receiving Lower Styria. Slovenia gained independence from the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in 1991.
Lower Styria has no official status as an administrative unit within Slovenia (though a new law will establish provincial administrative units, it has not come into force as of February 2007)), although the association with the informal province (Slovenian ''pokrajina'') is very common.
The capital of Lower Styria is Maribor. Other cities include Celje and Ptuj.
Lower Styria is famous for its white wine.
