Pazin (Italian: "Pisino", German: "Mitterburg") is a town in Istria, Croatia, population 4,986 (2001), total municipality population 9,227 (2001). Pazin was made the administrative center of the Istria county, because it is located in the geographical center of the county and in order to boost the development of the interior of the peninsula, but this explanation is disputed by some (see the discussion page). Pazin was first mentioned in 983, and it became a Habsburg property in 1374. The current town was mostly built around a fort ("Kaštel") rebuilt in the 15th and 16th century and disassembled in the 18th and 19th. The Kaštel has been a museum since the end of WWII. The Pazin pit ("Pazinska jama") located under the Castle was partially explored by E.A. Martel ] and is the best example of karst hydrography and morphology in Istria. Castle and a gorge inspired Jules Verne for the novel "Mathias Sandorf" (1885) External links: * * * * Read more about Pazin on Wikipedia
