Roman town!

Plomin photo gallery by Emil Pozar

Plomin , an old Istrians settlement located on the old road Labin - Opatija, on 168 meters above the sea level. Reaching this old Roman town (Flanona) you will be overwhelmed by a stunning view of the open sea and Cres island in front of you. On the opposite site you will notice the Ucka mount peak Sisol, 803 meters high.

Flanona, old Roman town

During the Middle Ages this old town was a fortified and the town walls that can be seen today are dating back to 13th, 14th and 17th century. Nowadays, the old town is almost deserted.

 

It is sad to see such a nice old town deserted. Most of the houses are without roofs and huge efforts need to be made to turn back in life this extraordinarily beautiful settlement. Most of the people left the city after the Second World War and the destiny of the cities without inhabitants is to die.

There should be a way how to rebuild these old houses and return to life this old Roman town, only an hour from Trieste by car and only 15 miles to the sea, driving on N 66 state road.

 

The most interesting points about this Istrians settlement:

  • The sea view from the town walls
  • The old town streets
  • The Parish Church of St. Mary
  • The Church of St. George the Elder
