On the hill above Rabac lies the medieval town of Labin, whose old name Albona was first mentioned in 285 AD. The hometown of Matija Vlačić, reformer and collaborator of Martin Luther, is today a cultural and administrative centre. Rarely does the richness of architecture and cultural and historical monuments combine so charmingly with numerous art studios and the breath of youth that gathers here, especially in the evening, in numerous cafes. Nearby Labin is Dubrova with the sculpture park – Forma Viva in the open with over 70 works. After a walk through the streets of the Old Town, visit the City Museum which has an archaeological and ethnological collection and model of the mine unique in this part of Europe. Visit the memorial collection of Matija Vlačić Ilirik, peek into art studios, enjoy the beautiful view of Rabac, Cres and Labin and go shopping in small, elegant stores. Refresh yourself on the terrace of one of the cafes. These are places where everyone meets everyone, deals are made, or are just casually chatting.
