Pietrapelosa, the castle above the Mirna River, has never been completely destroyed. Its name literally means a hairy fortress. The Chapel of St. Magdalene has also been preserved.
The Pietrapelosa Castle
Buzet
Buzet blossomed during the reign of Venice, when it became the seat of the Venetian military rule in Istria. During the period, the town was being built and renovated.
Although inhabited since ancient times, Buzet did not blossom until 1554 when it became the seat of the Venetian military rule in Istria. The town walls were restored, trades and crafts flourished. A reservoir, the small and large town gates (16th century), the parish church (1784), and several manors and houses were built. A souvenir of Buzet is the replica of earrings found in graves from the 7th and 8th century in northern Istria. The originals are kept in the Buzet Museum.
