Kršan

Its intriguing history dates back to the medieval period, with the settlement emerging around a medieval castle, now one of the best-preserved castles in Istria. The name "Kršan" originates from the Cherstlein de Pisino family, owners in the 15th century, whose coat of arms features the tip of an arrow, a motif that repeats in the coat of arms of the Kršan municipality.

Today, Kršan thrives as a hub for entrepreneurship, agriculture, and tourism. Events like the Festival of Wild Plants, Krafifest, Kršan Feast, and others attract visitors, while its rich cultural heritage is showcased in landmarks such as the Plomin chapels of St. George the Elder with the oldest known Glagolitic inscription - the Plomin Inscription, the Romanesque church of St. Quirinus, and Kožljak Castle.

The nature of the Kršan municipality captivates with its beauty, characterized by the coastal stretch from Plomin to Brestova, wild beaches nestled in the coves of steep rocky shores, and diverse flora and fauna. The area is enriched with remnants of Glagolitic and religious heritage and ancient crafts, while modern tourist offerings and gastronomic diversity complement the experience of this magnificent region.
