Located in central Istria, Pazin (Pisino in Italian) is a town of ancient charm, known for its imposing castle overlooking the spectacular karst chasm.
Its history begins in 983, when it is mentioned as Castrum Pisinum. The village grew up around the castle, which over the centuries became the seat of the County of Pazin, an important bastion of the Holy Roman Empire. Unlike much of Istria, under Venetian rule, Pazin remained tied to the Austrian Habsburgs for a long time (from 1374 to 1918).
After the First World War, it passed to the Kingdom of Italy, then to Yugoslavia in 1945, and finally, since 1991, to independent Croatia.
Today, Pazin is considered the historical capital of the Istrian hinterland, also famous thanks to Jules Verne, who set some scenes of his novel Mathias Sandorf here.
