Medulin is a village located in the south of the Istrian peninsula, founded during the 16th and 17th centuries. In that area was a place called Mutila previously inhabited by the Histri. After the destruction of Mutila, Romans started to settle and they took the advantage of the natural resources by building villas as production centres and summer houses on the peninsula of Vižula. There are Roman remains on this important archaeological site today, the most important being the former large and luxurious Roman villa. A lateral imperial necropolis was discovered nearby with more than 300 graves. Medulin has a rich cultural heritage, of which the church and the old windmills stand out. The largest church is the Parish Church of St Agnes with its two bell towers located on a hill. The Church of Our Lady of Health was built in the Romanesque period and stands out with its remains of frescoes. Other churches are the Church of St Fosca, St Anthony of Padua, the Holy Cross and the Church of St Peter the Apostle. There were also several churches in the historic centre and outside the village that are gone now. The majority of the population in Medulin were farmers due to fertile soil and abundance of grain. To avoid driving to other settlements to grind their grain they built the first windmills that now make up the cultural and historical attraction of Medulin. The national costume has an important role in the preservation of cultural heritage and identity. It consists of a complete outfit and includes clothing, shoes and jewelry, so it plays an important protective and communication role for the society. Tourism in Medulin has been developing since the end of the 19th century and its development can be divided into four main phases. The beginnings of tourism in Medulin could be connoted by the recommendation found in the Tourist guide of Pula and its surroundings to make excursions to Medulin. Its own tourism offer that was based on the coast and the sea started to be developed. The growth of tourism stopped in the period between the two wars due to a difficult economic situation. After the Second World War the Tourist Association was established and enabled Medulin to expand and develop its portfolio and increase capacities. The newly founded Medulin Riviera enterprise started constructing three hotels, opened numerous restaurants, built family houses with rooms to rent, thereby Medulin’s tourist appearance was rounded off.
