In The Culture Chronicle, we focus on the rich cultural heritage of Istria, with a special emphasis on Rovinj, Vrsar, Bale, Svetvinčenat, and Kanfanar. Each of these areas, with its unique historical and cultural narrative, offers exceptional opportunities for exploring and understanding the Istrian identity.

Rovinj, a symbol of romance and history, is known for its traditional music, bitinada, which carries the soul of the city and its people. This musical form represents not only an artistic expression but also a deep connection to the local culture.

Vrsar is proud of its spectacular viewpoints, which offer visitors unforgettable vistas of the sea and surrounding islands. These viewpoints are not only natural attractions but also places where one experiences a spiritual connection with the landscape.

Bale, with its medieval charm, offers an opportunity to explore local traditions and historical landmarks, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of this small town.

Svetvinčenat, with its magnificent Grimani Castle, stands as a testament to the area’s rich history and the cultural events held here, providing a unique atmosphere for both visitors and locals alike.

Kanfanar, with its former railway junction, offers a journey through time, simultaneously connecting natural beauty and historical facts, making it an ideal place for exploration.

Our goal is to create a platform that fosters dialogue about the preservation of cultural heritage and the promotion of Istrian identity. The Culture Chronicle magazine serves as a source of information and inspiration for all those who value culture, history, and nature.
