Boljun, Medieval hilltop settlement in Lupoglav, Croatia
Located at 248 meters above sea level in Istria County, Boljun contains narrow streets and stone houses reflecting traditional regional architecture.
The settlement features a castle from the 11th century, with remnants of fortification walls that served as protection during conflicts between Austria and Venice.
The Church of Saints Cosmo and Damian, expanded between 1698 and 1705, stands as evidence of religious practices in this small community.
The settlement maintains a population of 82 residents and connects to major roadways through the Istrian Y and Učka tunnel system.
A Roman stone pillar from the 1st century stands in front of the church, marking the location that Romans called Ad Fines.
