Fažana – A search for hidden treasure

`The search for the hidden treasure of Fažana` is the name of the new project that has been thought up by the local tourism workers for the guests of this Istrian town, but mostly for children. It is a new, fun way of getting to know the sites of the historical core of Fažana.

Material and non material goods, as well as natural sites important for the history of Fažana, have been marked on the children`s tourist map which has been printed in Croatian, Italian, English and Greman. Children can go round the marked sites following the map, and discover the required answers. Those who find all the answers receive a diploma and a medal decorated with motifs of Fažana. Marked on the map is a Roman amphora factory, Madonetta, a sacral collection, the shortest street in Fažana, the church of St. Kuzma and Damjan, a square-steered boat, olives, bay leaves, Spanish broom, and cork oak.

Fažana is a small fishing village close to Pula, which overlooks the National park Brijuni, an oasis of harmony between man and the plant and animal worlds. On Brijuni, almost 700 plants and around 250 species of birds have been recorded, while the mild Mediterranean climate makes this place pleasant and medicinal.
