Pazin is a small town in Croatia and is the administrative center of Istria county. It is located in the center of the Istrian peninsula on the top of steep cliffs below which is a chasm of Pazinčica river, known as the Pazin cave. It was first mentioned in the 10th century as Castrum Pisinum or Pazin fortress which belonged to the former Poreč diocese. In the 14th century was established Pazin county, which was ruled by many different feudal lords over the next centuries. After the Second World War, Pazin, like the whole region of Istra has finally been annexed to Croatia. Today Pazin is a modern city that attracts many visitors and tourists thanks to its rich cultural and historical heritage as well as romantic green hills that surround it.

From historic sites, we recommend visiting Pazin castle, which is the largest and best-preserved medieval fortress in Istria and in which are located exhibitions of Ethnographic Museum of Istria and Pazin City Museum. Beneath the castle walls is a unique hydrogeological phenomenon of Dinaric Karst, Pazin cave to which Pazinčica river plunges. Pazin cave was one of the inspirations of the famous novelist Jules Verne. In the town center is the parish church of St. Nicholas, which was built in the 12th century. In the 15th and 18th century, the church was reconstructed and rebuilt, and the frescoes inside are best preserved Late Gothic art in Istria.
