When heritage takes to the streets

There is a reason why we return to the old symbols of a place. In Medulin, that means the old Malin on the waterfront, the hackberry tree on the Placa, and the archaeological traces of Vižula. They are not just landmarks, but the centres around which local life has gathered for decades.

Malin, whose story began in 1872, grinds grain once again and shows summer visitors how bread was once baked, while the 115-year-old hackberry in the main square still casts shade where generations of Medulin locals met and made important decisions.

Medulin’s culture is lived outdoors. On the Placa, by Malin, among the stone ruins, in places where the past is still part of everyday life.
