UNESCO CITIES WITH A RICH CULTURAL HERITAGE OTHER IMPORTANT LOCALITIES OF CULTURAL HERITAGE 5
ISTRIA - The magical country The Istrian peninsula, located on the Western edge of Croatia, where the Mediterranean Sea most deeply retracts into the European mainland, has always been a special place. Such is the tourist region of Istria, which has only one county (the Istrian county), and which is by far the most visited county in Croatia. Istrian peculiarity stems from its location and isolation from the rest of Croatia by the high massif of the river Učka. This unique location and the mix of various influences led to the creation of a special culture, landscape, music and gastronomy, because of which many call it the magical land. The first known inhabitants of Istria were the Illyrian tribe of the Histri, after which Istria was named. In ancient times it had been an essential part of the Roman Empire, and after its collapse and the arrival of the Croats, Frankish rulers and the Aquileia Patriarchate took turns in ruling over it. From the 15th century, the western coastal region of Istria was governed by Venice and the Eastern part and the interior by the Habsburgs. In the late 18th century, Istria was briefly ruled by the French and after that, until the end of World War I, was under the rule of Austria. Between the two World Wars, Istria belonged to the Kingdom of Italy, and in 1945, Istria finally became <strong>Croatian</strong> territory, first as part of Yugoslavia and since 1991, as an independent county in the state. This brief historical review is important in understanding the origins of the wealth of Istrian culture and the characteristics of the area which, perhaps more than any other in Croatia, came to the fore of the great mixing of cultures and the ethnic groups of Slavs, Germans and Romans. Istrians are therefore widely known as people who know how to keep their peculiarity, as well as a very tolerant people who respect diversity. Therefore, in Istria, despite the paucity of the Italian national minority, the <strong>Croatian</strong> and the Italian languages are equal. 1 6
