The interior of the 12th Century Church (additions made in the 14th and 15th Century)

The "Dance of Death" continues on the wall.
We are over the Croatian Border and on the way to Pula via the Istra Peninsula. Buzet, like many towns in the Istra Peninsula, they are built on a hill and have a church tower in the center
The village of Motovun is another example of such hill top towns
The view from the village down to the valley below
Terry poses by one of two gates through the two walls that protect the medieval town
A view though the 2d gate into the town center
Notice the sign in the shop above the head of the boy
A close-up of the sign.
Terry finds some corn hanging from the roof of an outdoor pub
In the center above the roofs is Motovun in the distance on top of the hill. This was taken from viewpoint about 20 miles away.
