Due to its remoteness from the sea, weak main road connections, as well as large
urban centres, central Istria is generally abandoned and neglected compared to
areas closer to the coast. This fact is in favor of preserving the historical structures of
the city, urban planning, and the general experience of the place, since the lack
of interest of foreign or domestic investors in such remote cities has preserved most
of the historical values.
With the master thesis, old values are being revived in a new form, the way of life of
our ancestors is being revived, we are exploring what the Boljun castle, which still
is the centre of the city, means in the past, what religion means to them, and how
much these two parallels influenced the development of the city to the state we
know today.
