Overview

Središte Istre (The Center of Istria) near the village of Trošti, approximately 5 km southwest of Pazin, is considered the geographical center of the Istrian peninsula. The exact center was determined in 2002 using satellite imagery and geodetic maps to identify the centroid of a triangle connecting Istria's three most distant points.Today, the spot is marked by a small stone pyramid with inscriptions stating "Središte Istre" in Croatian, English, and Glagolitic scripts on each side. The surrounding area has been transformed into a small recreational area maintained by the Central Istria Tourist Board. Visitors can enjoy the tranquil environment, characterized by meadows, oak and pine groves, and traditional dry stone walls. A large oak tree and a swing add to the charm of this often overlooked location.While there are differing opinions on the precise center of Istria, with some suggesting Orljak hill near Berm or the cross on Ježenjski hill near Mali Ježenj, Središte Istre Trošti offers a tangible and accessible point to contemplate the region's geography and natural beauty.
