These stone stairs climb along Saint Julian church, and lead to the main entrance of the church, on a peaceful little piazzeta with old trees and flowers. You can also reach the piazetta by a street that turns around the church, on the right. Leave a Comment

The city gates and very characteristic Istrian type of underpass situated next to the Castle of Soardo-Bembo.
Right next to the gate there is a nice cafe-bar which offers drinks in the shadow of the medieval walls. Leave a Comment

The kaštel (castle) was originally called Soardo after the family of the same name who built it in the 15th century. It later became the property of of the Bembo family, by marriage, so that is why it has a dual name Soardo-Bembo.
Bale became the meeting place of palaeontologists in 1992, when the fossilized bones of the gigantic reptiles the dinosaurus were found in Kolone Bay. Leave a Comment
