Šišan, Historic settlement in Ližnjan, Croatia
Šišan sits near the eastern coast of the Istrian Peninsula, surrounded by fertile agricultural land and woods in the Magran-Cuf region.
The settlement, first documented in 990 AD, became one of the most prosperous locations in the Pula region during medieval times.
The parish church, built in 1528, contains a Gothic Holy Virgin statue from the 15th century and a late Gothic Crucifix from the 16th century.
The settlement lies near major roads connecting to Pula, where visitors can find the closest airport for regional and international connections.
Local residents maintain the rare Istriotic language, while the Italian Community preserves the distinct cultural identity of the settlement.
