As with some of the other places I’ve been during the start of this project (I’m talking about the visit to Istria in September 2023), this is my second time visiting Buje. The first time was in Spring 2016, and now, 7,5 years later – I’m back. Honestly, I was impressed with what I’ve seen there, so I knew I’d be back. I didn’t think it would be because of a project like this, but I’m glad it is!
Everything was as I remembered, but I had one issue. Because of the renovations at the St. Servolo Square, I couldn’t photograph the St. Servolo Church, but that’s just another reason to revisit Buje, so I’m not complaining.
Now, let me introduce Buje to you.
Before we start, let me just tell you that I’m a photographer first, so I won’t focus that much on writing, so you’ll be able to learn mostly things that are already on Wikipedia and other websites. If I find out something really interesting and less known, I’ll mention that.
