Looming over the chasm, Pazin’s Kaštel is the largest and best-preserved medieval structure in all of Istria. First mentioned in AD 983, it is a medley of Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance architecture. There are two museums inside; one ticket gets you into both. The town museum has a collection of medieval Istrian church bells, an exhibition about slave revolts, and torture instruments in the dungeon. The Ethnographic Museum has about 4200 artefacts portraying traditional Istrian village life, including garments, tools and pottery.
