Peroj, Settlement in Vodnjan municipality, Croatia.
The coastal settlement of Peroj sits one kilometer from the Adriatic Sea, offering beaches and agricultural landscapes in western Istria.
Originally known as Praetoriolum during Roman times, Peroj underwent resettlement in 1657 when fifteen Montenegrin families established their presence in the area.
The village maintains three religious structures: the Church of St Stephen, the Church of St Fusca, and the Orthodox Church of St Spyridon.
Visitors can explore the surroundings through numerous hiking paths and cycling trails, with easy access to Fazana, Brijuni National Park, and Pula.
The descendants of thirteen original Montenegrin Orthodox families continue to preserve their distinct traditions within this Croatian coastal community.
