    Saint Julian (San Zuian in dialect), the parochial church, was built in 1880 on the place of a previous Romanesque church built in the 9th century. A part of the crypt has been preserved and can be visited. Inside is a sarcophagi from the 8th century and a painting attributed to Matej Poncun.

    Smaller passages connect the Grisa and the Kastel. The houses often spread out, people install chairs and tables right across the street and live in the street which is a place for communication between neighbors. It is very relaxing that no car can come here.

    In the paved yard of a semi-abandoned house, there appears an old well. Grass grows so well that the paved yards would look almost like a lawn if it were trimmed ! Some have hard time growing a nice lawn, here, it grows alone between the pavements, without being watered !

    Instead of going down through the stair we used to come, a vaulted passage allows to leave the piazzetta and walk down to the circular street. It seems that under a high doorway was later built a smaller one as there are two vaults piled one on the other !

    The campanile of Saint Julian church is on top of the hill, on the small piazzetta. Dark green cypresses, shaped as other campaniles, make a pleasant duplicate of the luminous stone white campanile. The campanile was built at the same time than the church, in 1880.

    Between the church and the campanile, the piazzetta is an island on greenery with another cypress, cedar trees and oleander. That makes a pleasant contrast with the white stone face of the houses and of the church.

    In the yard of another house, this one inhabited, the old well is still there. As the town is on the hill, either these wells are very deep or they are sitting on a cistern collecting water from the roofs. I have no data on that point.

    Most of the houses that are on the Grisa, are decorated with flowers. The plants grow either in pots or in full earth. Oleander is very common and always grow very well but various vines climb to the top of the houses.

    On the piazzetta, in front of the church, everything is very quiet and people live more outside their house than inside. There are no car, no tourists. Wouldn't you like to be there ? Discreetly, not to disturb !

    The Grisa is a paved street that leads to the church. It's the name comes from the word "grisa", for "church" in the local Istrio-Romanian dialect. Amazingly, the word "grisa" is closer to the French "église" than to the Italian "chiesa" !
