Situated on top of a hill at 222 m above sea level, the small town of
Buje dominates the surrounding green terrace-like fields. Due to
its strategic location it is called The Watchman of Istria.
Buje-Buie is surrounded by numerous hills which were settled
already during the Bronze Age by various tribes and during the
Iron Age the Histrians came to their prehistoric settlements. With
the foundation of Roman Reign the region becomes Agro della
Cononia di Trieste which was annexed to the region Venetia et
Histria. During the turbulent time of Barbarian invasions the
population found refugee in fortresses built on flat hill tops. The
fortified castle of Buje-Buie dates from this period, too.
Since the 18th century the settlement has spread outside the
town walls. The new neighbourhoods have become important
centres of culture, education, sport, economy and administration.
