Labin

While it once was a medieval town three kilometers away from the sea, today Labin is a center of galleries and artists who stay here and create throughout the year. Especially attractive are loggia from the 16th century and the main city gate Saint Flora on which is carved Labin crest and Venetian lion, the symbol of the Venetian Republic.
