Discover the House of Bardinc, a typical Istrian house in the village of Lopar near Marezige, built more than 200 years ago. This cultural gem is one of the few Istrian houses still standing that preserves the architectural heritage of our ancestors.
The house provides a window into traditional life in Istria, showcasing an authentic Istrian black kitchen and a wine cellar housing the region’s oldest wine press, which dates back over 200 years.
