On wavy picturesque hills of the Istrian landscape, in the lull of the northern part, we can find Karojba. The turbulent past of it's area is testimony to the interesting role of the border area: from municipality records of the Istrian Demarcation, across the borders of the Venetian and Austrian parts even onto Istrian soil which is otherwise divided into red, grey and white land, each find their border here where fields and valleys of red and hills of grey Istria meet.

On this St. Nicholas Day, Pazin celebrates its patron with pride in its Parochial Church of St. Nicholas. Founded in 1266 and renowned for its late Gothic frescoes from the 15th century, this church embodies centuries of Istrian history. With a 45-meter bell tower and a beautiful organ installed in 1780, it offers a glimpse into the past.
St. Nicholas, known for his acts of compassion, is celebrated across Croatia as children eagerly await his “visit.” They polish their boots, hoping to find small presents and sweets for good children the next morning, or a little twig if they misbehaved. It is a cherished tradition every December.
