Pićan
There are several names for this little place: Piebn, Petina, Pedena, Pitchann. The name supposedly originates from the assumption that the Diocese of Pićan was once the fifth in the world, so their name is pet/ five in English. If you walk through Pićan, you will see the church of St. Roko, the monumental city gate, the bell tower, which is 48 meters high, one of the highest in Istria and many other specifics of the place, located on a hill.
