Kozina (pronounced [kɔˈziːna]; Italian: Cosina) is a settlement in the Municipality of Hrpelje–Kozina in the Littoral region of Slovenia, close to the border with Italy.[2]
The village developed only after the railway was established; in 1825 there were only three houses in Kozina. It became an important center for teamsters, with twelve inns with stalls for teamsters' horses.[3] Today it lies at the intersection of the Ljubljana–Koper freeway with the Trieste–Rijeka route.
