Polje Čepić, Rural settlement in Kršan, Croatia.

Located at an elevation of 40 meters in eastern Istria County, Polje Čepić extends across fertile lands that were previously part of a lake basin.

The settlement became part of the Kožljak castle estate in 1102 when Ulric II granted the territory to the Patriarchate of Aquileia.

The village contains two distinct sections: Kloštar, centered around religious structures, and Purgarija, which developed as the civilian quarter.

The state road D64 provides direct access to major towns including Labin in the north and Pazin in the southeast of Istria County.

The settlement transformed from a fishing community to an agricultural center after Lake Čepić was drained in 1930, creating productive farmland.
