57 Located in the heart of Istria is the capital, PAZIN, dominated by the monumental castle (49) over the scary Pazin pit, which was an inspiration for the great Jules Verne for his novel “Mathias Sandorf”. The citadel was founded in the early Middle Ages at the time of Frankish rulers, and today has a form obtained mainly in the 16th century, at the time of the Habsburgs. In the castle is, according to many, the most interesting museum in the entire county, the Ethnographic Museum of Istria (46). It preserves a valuable collection of folk costumes that show the specificity of Istrian folk heritage. Among them are the particularly harmonious folk costumes of Vodnjan (58), a town in the south of Istria. Not far from Vodnjan is another special Istrian town, Svetvinčenat, which is known for its central square. The Renaissance Square is dominated by the Grimani castle, a symbol of the town (57), and a church and a number of houses in the same style. Throughout Istria there is all kinds of beauty, from the ancient church towers, such as in Sveti Lovreč (51), castles and palaces as in Bale (48) to the mysterious ruins like Boljun (53 & 54), which invite us to wander about this magic land. 58 17
1 4 5 KVARNER – The wonder of Central Europe and the Mediterranean Within Croatia, a culturally and naturally very diverse country, one of the most diverse parts is the Kvarner region, which is part of the Primorje - Gorski Kotar County. This region covers the coastal area of the Kvarner Bay along with numerous islands and most of the small historic province of the mountainous Gorski Kotar. It is right here that the warm Mediterranean area, with stone houses and a rich medieval and Renaissance heritage, passes into the cooler central European areas with powerful fortresses, castles and Baroque churches. 6 7 Unlike Istria and Dalmatia, which were under foreign rule for a significant part of History, the area of Kvarner was under Croatian rulers from the early Middle Ages. Therefore, this part of Croatia highlights a number of autochthonous monuments of the Croatian culture. The noble family Frankopan had a special role in this; their castles and fortresses are still preserved and stand over the Kvarner Bay. A rich heritage written in Glagolitic script also testifies to this. This is the unique Croatian script which the Croats used from the 9th to the 19th century. The additional advantage of Kvarner is a strong tradition of carnivals, and the carnival 18
