Arabiaweather.com - Ismail Qasimi - The Croatian region of Istria, known as Istria in Italian, is a region located in western northern Croatia on the border with Slovenia and opposite the city of Venice in Italy, where they are separated by the Adriatic Sea.

Formerly part of the Venetian Republic, it has seen many rulers such as the Romans, Byzantines, Austro-Hungarians, Italians and Yugoslavs, and this is what made Istria a very rich and diverse cultural heritage.

- You can see many Roman ruins in the historic city of Pula, which is the largest city in the Istrian region, including the arena, the Roman Forum, and others.

- Touring a city where half of the population speaks Croatian and the other half speaks Italian, is the old Venetian (Venetian) city of Rovinj, located 30 km from Pula Airport.

- Visit the St. Frasius Cathedral in the coastal city of Burisch or Barenzo, which is one of the religious tourist attractions that you can visit to admire its beautiful architecture.

- You can enjoy many beaches along the Adriatic coast, which borders the Istria region on its southeastern, southern and western sides.

The Brijuni Islands were the playground of Yugoslav President Tito, and include international zoos, dinosaur footprints as well as many Roman and Byzantine ruins.

- Take a look at the hill towns and cities, such as Groznian, Motovan or Montona, which are usually inhabited by communities of artists.

- Visit the Barden Cave and see the first creatures that inhabited the caves and be fascinated by this geomorphological nature reserve open to tourists in Istria.
