Location and surroundings of object
On the largest green oasis of the northern Adriatic Istria, lies the small charming village of Rakalj.
First mentioned in 1190, it was once known for traditional Istrian ceramics and sailors as well as fishermen.
Rakalj offers pleasures in beautiful surroundings and the sea, sun and peace away from the crowds,
and the beautiful numerous beaches, hidden from people's view, give you the feeling of intimacy and freedom. With about 19 kilometres of coastline, the village makes holidaymakers' hearts beat faster. The place and the surrounding area are rich in flora and fauna and therefore they are very suitable for walks. Nature can be enjoyed to the fullest, also thanks to the many bicycle paths and the numerous footpaths (e.g. Stephen Hauser Path), there is something for everyone.
It is attractive to visitors because of its cultural and historical sights (baroque parish church built in the 18th century, Rakalj castle ruins) and ethnographic collections located in the house of the scientist and writer Mijo Mirkovic (Mate Balota). Old Rakalj is located close to the sea, on a hill in Raška Bay. Next to the ruins of Old Rakalj is the church of St. Agneze from 1495, from where there is a beautiful panorama of the valley of the river Raša and the countless fields, mostly covered with sage and straw flowers.
Traditional gourmet specialities consisting of fresh fruits of nature and the sea welcome you to Rakalj and Istria.
Be sure to visit Pula, the largest city on the Istrian peninsula. Pula is rich in cultural monuments of Roman architecture: the Amphitheatre, the Triumphal Arch of Sergijevaca from the 1st century BC, the Hercules Door and the Double Door, the Temple of August, the small Roman theatre in the centre of the town, the Forum launching pad... Apart from cultural monuments, Pula is also known for its numerous smaller islands and bays, crystal clear sea and beautiful beaches.
