Galižana, Historic settlement in Vodnjan, Croatia
Located near the old Pula-Vodnjan road, Galižana stands at 110 meters elevation and covers an area of 25.1 square kilometers.
The settlement originated as a Roman agricultural center where major roads intersected, serving as a distribution point for land allocation to war veterans.
The village contains numerous dry stone structures called kazuni, circular buildings with stone slate roofs that reflect traditional Istrian construction methods.
The settlement maintains strong agricultural activities, focusing on olive cultivation, viticulture, and the production of wine and olive oil.
Galižana remained unaffected by the widespread infections that decreased Istrian populations during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
