Trget Istria Croatia

Trget Croatia is a fishing village situated in Raša Bay. Its name derives from the Croatian word ‘trgetarenje’ (latin: traiectum), which means‘transport of people and goods from one side of the bay to the other’. In the center of the village there are ruins of the Romanesque church of St. Justin with a semicircular apse. Historical sources also mention the existence of a medieval castle (Castello di San Giorgio). In the hinterland of Trget many ancient ruins have been discovered. The village flourished at the end of the 19th century when a coal shipping harbour was built nearby. Between the two World Wars the harbour was named Valdivagna and later on Valpidocchio and it was the second largest coal shipping harbor after Genova in Italy. The present name, Bršica, derives from a local evergreen tree called „bršit".
