Cape Kamenjak

Cape Kamenjak marks the southern tip of Istria, jutting into the northern Adriatic beyond Premantura. Its position commanded a broad view of the surrounding country and sea. People occupied this narrow peninsula in prehistoric times, leaving hillfort sites on either side of Premantura. In the Middle Ages the area belonged to Pula; a settlement near Premantura may have been abandoned after outbreaks of plague in the 15th and 16th centuries.
