Plomin is an interesting town located on the Istrian peninsula, the largest in the Adriatic Sea. It is located at the foot of Sisol on Vela vrata. It is a village marked by culture and rich historical treasures. It lies about 10 kilometers away from nearby Labin. 
Plomin stretches on an 80 meter high hill. It is a popular destination for tourists traveling through Istria. It was originally called Flanona. The settlement was built in Roman times, above the bay of the same name. Plomin was abandoned after Second World War as the bay became too muddy and the inhabitants, who were mostly Italians, emigrated to Italy. The place eventually settled again and today it is home to about 130 people. The buildings in Plomin are hundreds of years old and were built on the ruins of original Roman houses. The city walls date back to the 9th century. There are two important historical buildings in the place, the Church of Saint Jurij Old from the 11th century and the parish Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, also known as Saint Jurij Young. 
Both sacral buildings are marked by Christian art. In the church of Saint Jurij Old, there is a plaque, as part of the outer wall, which represents a religious text written in Glagolitic from the 11th century. The Glagolitic alphabet is the oldest Slavic alphabet.
