Labin

Labin stands above the Raša River valley in Croatia’s Istria County, where eastern Istria slopes from limestone uplands toward Kvarner Bay. Its old town occupies a hilltop, with lanes and squares shaped by centuries under Venetian and later Habsburg rule. Mining defined the modern community: in 1921, local miners proclaimed the short-lived Labin Republic, a notable episode in Croatian labour history. Labin was also the birthplace of the 16th-century Protestant theologian Matija Vlačić Ilirik.
