General information
PEROJ is a place 5 km west of Vodnjan. Many sacral buildings lie on the western edge of the settlement: medieval church sv. Stjepan; sv. Spiridon church; sv. Foska church.
Highlights of the Place:
- the place of Peroj was known during Roman times by the name of Praetoriolum or CASALE PETRIOLO as a summer resort. Located in the old core is a centuries-old Lote tree, unique in Istria. In the area of Peroj-Batvače, a frequent destination of pilgrims and artists is the old basilica of Sv. Foška (9th – 10th century). After the pilgrimage, one feels renewed.
