A fishing village in the Bay of Raša. It got its name from the tracing (transport of people and cargo from one side of the canal to the other, Latin: traiectum). In the square are the ruins of the Romanesque church of St. George with a protruding apse. Historical sources mention the existence of a medieval castle in Trget (Castello Di San Ggiorgio). The settlement came to life at the end of the 19th century, when a coal loading port was built nearby. Numerous ancient remains have been discovered in the hinterland of Trget.There is a small shop in the village, but very well equipped. There are also two restaurants "Martin Pescator" and "Nando".

Raša, the youngest town in Istria, due to the needs of the local coal mine, was built in just 547 days as one of a series of newly built towns (città di fondazione) during the Italian administration, ie during the so-called. fascist era. Construction of the settlement began in late April 1936, in April 1937 most of the buildings were completed, so the occupants began to move in, and Raša was inaugurated on November 4, 1937 in the presence of government envoy Horst Venturi and the king's envoy of the Duke of Spoleto and many senior government officials. A year later, a new municipality of Raša was established.

During the construction, the working name of the settlement was Liburnia, but later the name Arsia (Raša) after the river of the same name prevailed, which with its tributaries geographically and morphologically determines this area. The river Raša (Arsia flumen), known since ancient times, was repeatedly a significant border between various state entities, including the Croatian state in the 10th century.

The construction of the settlement was preceded by extensive land reclamation works of the Raška and especially the Krapan valley, in the period from 1928 to 1934, organized by a special Consortium headed by Babin Giuseppe Lazzarini from Labin.

The mining activity of this area dates back to the 17th century, during the Venetian administration, because the first known concession for coal mining in the Krapna valley dates from 1626. Continuous coal production took place during the 18th century with about forty miners producing about 560 tons of coal per year. General industrialization, with the widespread use of the steam engine, enabled the significant development of coal mines, so that during the Austrian administration, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, annual production increased to about 90,000 tons with the use of about 1,500 workers. At that time, Krapan flourished with the construction of a number of new facilities, of an economic and residential nature, all in the function of a mine. In 1905, a smaller church of St. was built there. Barbara, protector of the miners.

Due to the needs of its autarkic economy, the Italian administration worked on a significant increase in production, so that in 1936 it amounted to 735,610 tons with plans for one million tons with the use of about 7,000 employees with a tendency of constant growth. That is why the coal mining company "Raša" ("Arsa" Società Anonima Carbonifera) and its true successor A.Ca.I. (Azienda Carboni Italiani) commissioned the construction of a new settlement. The settlement project and construction supervision were entrusted to the Trieste architect Gustav Pulitzer Finali and his architectural studio STUARD (Ceppi, Lah, Kosovel). He had a unique opportunity to urbanize the entire settlement and to architecturally shape each building. In addition, he arranged many interiors, especially public buildings, and made furniture designs, interpreting in a personal way the principles of the complete work (Gesamtswerka) which he adopted at the University of Munich. Pulitzer divided the settlement hierarchically, into a workers 'and clerks' part, and a central square that serves to connect and separate these two entities. The working part is dominated by a house with four two-bedroom apartments, each with a separate entrance and a piece of garden. He also designed a coal stove that allows heating the entire apartment. Apartments for employees and managers have greater comfort and heating is provided by hot water from the city heating plant. A total of 96 houses were built. The city, planned for 2,000 to 3,000 inhabitants, had all the necessary facilities, from a municipal building and a gendarmerie station, to a school, kindergarten, post office, cafe, restaurant, hotel, shops, cinema and hospital, sports fields and even an outdoor Olympic swimming pool. scale. The infrastructure was also enviably well-arranged: water and sewage network, city lighting and roads with asphalt carpet, hot water in all public buildings. Of course, along the outskirts of the city was the mine administration.

The heart of the city is the town square, the design of which the architect paid special attention to. It is dominated by the imposing church of St. Barbara with a carefully thought-out roof structure obtained by a series of reinforced concrete arched ribs reminiscent of a cave substructure, just as a square attached bell tower resembles a mining lamp, housed in the municipal coat of arms. The interior of the church, a very harmonious modern design with simple but refined details of the marble altar and sprinkler, is spirited with side ceiling lighting, with two elongated glass window openings on the façade and with very interesting lighting effects in the side sacristy with glazed dome. Next to the church is a covered loggia, a building element common in many Istrian towns, which with its openings was supposed to help the air flow and ventilation of the square in the summer heat. On the main façade, the stone relief figure of St. Barbara, the work of the Trieste sculptor Uga Carà. The square was once adorned with a stone statue of a miner-fighter, whose author was also the famous Trieste sculptor Marcello Mascherini, but the sculpture was immediately destroyed in the postwar period. Pulitzer quite naturally supplied the square with a harmonious, stone, round fountain.

The basic principle that guided Pulitzer was rationalism, following in the footsteps of contemporary European architectural trends. Simple strict lines, clean, bright surfaces have found wide application in it. Binding to the Mediterranean tradition, he added an arch to the rectangular solutions, so that his architectural compositions are playful not only linearly but also in depth due to the play of light and shadow. But Pulitzer was not content with just that. He added the traditional, local, Istrian to the modern and contemporary, ie European, both in the example of processing the element of ballads and in the skilful use of local stone. Because of all this, Pulitzer's architecture, which contains all the essential features of rationalism and modernism in the example of Raša, became a kind of model and model for urban and architectural design of new settlements, which then found application in Carbonia, Sabaudia and elsewhere in Italy.

After the Second World War, Raša experienced a paradoxical fate. On the one hand, because of its involuntary, fascist past, it was systematically neglected and left to decay, and on the other hand, as a producer of precious black gold, it was glorified and respected, but all with the aim of maximizing its exploitation. During the Yugoslav administration, the municipality of Raša was integrated into the municipality of Labin, and then regained the status of an independent municipality in the new Croatian state. Since then, systematic efforts have been made to valorize this once extremely important mining center.

The village is located about 15km south of Labin. It was built on one of the highest elevations in the Labin region, once one of the largest settlements in the Labin region. Numerous archeological remains dating back to the Bronze Age (Cuf, Brdo, Bobrine and Trdačina caves) have been documented in the vicinity of Skitača. In the 16th century, the area of ​​Skitača was inhabited by the Vlach population ("Istro-Romanians"), as evidenced by written sources and the testimony of the Romanian historian and travel writer Ion Maiorescu, who sr. In the 19th century he visited Skitača, described the settlement and the Vlach population. Since 1632, Skitača has been one of the church centers of the Labin region. The population was traditionally engaged in cattle breeding, less in agriculture and seafaring.

The center of the village is dominated by the church of Sv. Lucia and the building of the parish office and school, today converted into a mountain house. Next to the church is a cemetery.

Church of St. Lucija was built at the beginning of the 17th century. It took its present form in 1924, when the construction of the bell tower began, the construction of which remains unfinished to this day. It is a baroque single-nave church with an inscribed apse. The central marble altar is dedicated to St. Lucia, while the two wooden side altars are dedicated to St. Anton of Padua and the Blessed Virgin Mary. Next to the church is a village cemetery.

Thanks to PD "Skitaci" and the built mountain house Skitača, it has started to be revitalized in the last ten years.

Not far from Skitača, about 30 minutes walk, is the top of Brdo. At the foot of the peak on its northern side is the school of St. Lucy, patroness of the Wanderer. Školnica Sv. Lucia is a natural depression in limestone filled with water, which almost never dries out. With St. Lucy is also associated with two legends. One of the legends says that St. Lucija, walking around the world, came to a rock on the edge of the village of Skitača. Tired, she sat on a rock where she fell asleep. When she woke up the next morning, she noticed a newly formed spring near her, where she washed her eyes. Since then, the spring has not dried up, while believers and the visually impaired believe that the water from the spring cures vision and eye problems.

Another legend says that St. Walking around the world, Lucija one day came to the top of Brdo on the edge of the village of Skitača and when she saw a beautiful view of the Kvarner Bay, she cried with mercy. As tears slid from her face, a spring sprang up in the ground.
