  Brijuni
  National park Brijuni is the most interesting and the most indented collection of islands in Istra. It is composed of 14 islands all together – two bigger ones (Veli and Mali Brijun), and lots of little islands (Vanga, Kozada, st. Jerolim, Galija and others). The islands were settled already in the prehistoric time and the building starts during the Roman rule. The remains of Neptune's and Venus's temples were found next to remains of the mammoth feet and the Byzantine camp and old Christian basilica from a later period. When Pula was in decline, malaria hit the islands that became desolated. But with the help of Robert Koch the situation was restored and after that the islands became elite summer resort. During the time of Josip Broz Tito they were closed for public and in that time they were visited by the leading politicians of the world and elite actors like Richard Burton, Sophie Lauren, Elizabeth Taylor and others. In 1983 they were pronounced the national park and reopened to public. Rich flora creating magnificent green landscapes provides home to many bird species like pheasant, peacocks and big game like deer, roe deer and mouflons. Next to the species that live freely in the nature, as part of the Safari park and the Zoo many other animals from various parts of the world are being raised, most of which were presents from foreign officials to president Tito. Next to mentioned attractions, there are golf courses, biking tracks and walking paths.
