Pićan, a village and municipal center in central Istria (45°12'N; 14°3'E; 335m above sea level), is located 12 km southeast of Pazin on the main road (D48) between Pazin and Kršan. The village is perched on a prominent limestone hill west of Čepićko polje. In the park at the entrance to Pićan, there stands a statue of St. Ivan Nepomuk, a Czech saint and patron of queens, bridges, and confessional secrets, as well as a protector against floods. The statue, erected in 1714, is accompanied nearby by a monument honoring the residents of Pićan who lost their lives in World War II. Adjacent to the park, on slightly lower ground, is the Church of St. Rok, the protector against the plague. Its foundation stone was laid by Bishop Gašpar Bobek during one of the most severe plague epidemics. The old part of Pićan is accessed through monumental city gates dating back to the 14th century, which were restored in 1613 by Bishop Antonio Zaro. Zaro, who had a close relationship with Archduke Ferdinand, became the bishop of Pićan at just 27 years old. Opposite the parish church is the birthplace of Matko Brajša Rašan, a choirmaster, and composer who recorded over 250 Istrian folk, secular, and church songs. His work played a crucial role in preserving the features of the old Istrian diphthong, and in 1912, he composed the official Istrian anthem 'Krasna zemljo' based on a text by Ivan Cukon. Pićan is also linked to another significant musical figure, Juraj Slatkonja, a Slovenian who founded and conducted the Vienna Court Orchestra. Slatkonja later became the first bishop of Vienna and was associated with Pićan as the administrator of the diocese in 1506 and as a bishop in 1513.

West of Kanfanar lies Dvigrad, a medieval town overlooking Lim Fjord. Once two thriving colonies, Parentino and Moncastello, the latter, under the Patriarchate of Aquileia's ownership, evolved into Duecastelli. Venetian rule later encompassed Dvigrad, but in the 17th century, disease forced most residents to flee. By 1714, only three families remained, ultimately deserting the town. Left intact by abandonment, Dvigrad boasts preserved gates, walls, towers, and most of its houses. The once-prominent St. Sophia Church succumbed to neglect by the 19th century. Known as Due Castelli in Italian and Docastei in Istriot, this deserted medieval town in central Istria, Croatia, thrived from prehistoric times until the 18th century.
