Plomin (Italian: Fianona) is a village in the Croatian part of Istria,<br />
situated approximately 11 km north of Labin, on an 80 meters<br />
high hill. It is a popular destination for tourists traveling through<br />
Istria by road.<br />
Originally named Flanona, the settlement was built in Roman<br />
times, above the bay bearing the same name. Plomin was<br />
abandoned after World War II, due to the bay becoming too muddy<br />
and its inhabitants, mostly Italians, emigrating to Italy. However, it<br />
has since been repopulated, and is today home to approximately<br />
130 people. The buildings in the town are several hundred years<br />
old, built on the ruins of the original Roman houses. The walls date<br />
back to the 9th century.<br />
Plomin contains two churches, St George the Elder and St George<br />
the Younger. Both contain Christian art. St. George the Elder<br />
contains Plomin tablet as a part of the outer wall, an 11th-century<br />
religious text written in the Glagolitic alphabet, the oldest known<br />
Slavic alphabet.<br />
