Koromačno

Koromačno is a port settlement nestled in a bay between Ubas peninsula and cape Koromačno on the southeastern edge of Istria. Located at sea level, the place is shaped by port infrastructure handling industrial cargo and surrounded by simple residential buildings.

The settlement was founded in 1925 when a cement factory was built to process clay extracted from nearby Gradac hill. This industrial establishment became the foundation for the community that developed around it.

The Church of Saint John stands as a focal point of local spirituality, built in the 13th century with a simple Romanesque design. Its interior frescoes from the 14th century reflect the religious life that has shaped this community for generations.

The settlement offers basic accommodation options including apartments and holiday homes nearby for those wishing to stay. Visitors should expect an active port environment with cargo operations, which shapes the daytime atmosphere and soundscape of the area.

Underwater excavations in the late 1980s revealed Roman-era amphorae from the 4th and 5th centuries near the coastline. These submerged artifacts show that maritime activity in this bay dates back to ancient times.
