First records about the village’s history date back in time of the nobility of Duino. In the First World War the Austrian soldiers had arranged several posts and a hospital. Villagers had to abandon their houses and became refugees. In the village’s surroundings are four Austro-Hungarian cemete- ries and also remains of the narrow military railway line. Another interesting sight that cannot be left out is the village well with a magnificently elaborated upper, visible part of the well (“šapa”) and some beautiful carved ornaments. Do not overlook a pil in the village’s centre and several arches, consoles and window frames. Those who like to enjoy in real culinary delights of Karst should visit the two “osmica” that are opened in spring and summer.
