It reached full glory in medieval times. From 1374 until Napoleon took reign over Istria, the Tinjan fort protected the border of Pazin County towards the Venetians for its owners, the Habsburgs. From 1578 onwards, Tinjan is no longer a fort and it is called a town. Medieval local authority, with \u017eupan as the head, made decisions on all important matters. The \u017eupan was elected in a very unique way: at the \u017eupan\u2019s table \u2013 the stone table that still exists under the hackberry tree. All the candidates would sit around the table and put their long beards on it. Then they would put a flea in a hole at the center of the table and wait to see in whose beard the flea would jump. The person the flea \u201cselected\u201d would become the \u017eupan.<br \/>\nOld town center remained the same since the middle ages. The oldest house, now renovated, dates back to 1442, and symbols on the houses like hedge bills, proudly present occupations that the former owners held. The stories of Attila\u2019s head at the gates of the 16th century house, the \u017eupan\u2019s table, kidnapping of Tinjan women and forced marriages with the kidnappers are still being told to today\u2019s generations. Old crafts, customs and games are carefully preserved, giving us insight into times past. The festival of blacksmiths gathers the best Istrian blacksmiths and presents skills and tools perfected over centuries.<\/p>\n<h3>Municipality of Istrian prosciutto and dry stone walls<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-225\" src=\"http:\/\/lag-sredisnjaistra.hr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/16.jpg\" alt=\"16\" width=\"293\" height=\"172\" \/>Named the Municipality of the Istrian prosciutto, Tinjan organizes, in October of every year the ISAP \u2013 International fair of prosciutto. This world-famous exquisite gastronomic delicacy, has a recipe protected at the EU level (PDO\/PGI)<\/p>\n<p>With the aim of preserving the construction heritage, Municipality of Tinjan started an action of protection of Istrian dry stone wall. The project \u201cEuropean dray stone wall\u201d is designed in a way to renovate the existing dry stone wall from Kringa to Tinjan (4 km). Every stone inserted receives a number, and its \u201cbuilder\u201d receives a certificate to confirm that they built the dry stone wall. For recreational purposes, a cycling and walking trail was also built along the wall.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/tinjan.hr\/\">http:\/\/tinjan.hr\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Small town, once surrounded by ramparts and towers, today is a charming place where tradition and history are proudly presented.
