Hum is often referred to as the smallest town in the world. It has<br />

only 17 inhabitants and preserved city institutions. It is located in<br />

central Istria, 14 kilometers southeast of Buzet.<br />

Inside the preserved city walls are two small streets, the<br />

parish church of the Assumption of Mary was built in 1802,<br />

a Romanesque church OF St. Jerome from the 12th century,<br />

decorated with frescoes under Byzantine influence, with many<br />

Glagolitic inscriptions and graffiti from Master Anthony of Padua.<br />

Hum has preserved the tradition “of choosing the prefect for<br />

a year”. All the men of the parish in the town loggia vote on a<br />

wooden stick for its candidate.<br />

It is famous for its Glagolitic Alley. Hum gate, through which you<br />

enter in Hum, is the last feature of the mentioned Alley. The doors<br />

are metal, and around knob there are twelve medallions depicting<br />

months.<br />
