Kaldanija
Kaldanija, also known as Caldaia in Italian, is a settlement within the municipality of Buje in Istria. The village's name is believed to originate from the ruling Caldana family of Koper. Historically, it was part of the fiefdom of Kaštel (Castelvenere). In San Pietro di Montrino (Fratrija), the 9th-century Benedictine monastery of San Pietro and San Nicola was established, falling under the possessions of the Patriarchate of Aquileia. By 1133, control shifted to the monastery of San Nicolò on the Lido of Venice, yet its decline commenced in the 14th century. In 1770, Franciscan friars specializing in agriculture took over. After the suppression, the church, monastery, and other structures became a private village, now home to a renowned restaurant serving local specialties. Kaldanija's history spans various rulerships, from the Serenissima Republic of Venice to Austro-Hungarian rule until the end of World War I, briefly part of the Napoleonic Kingdom of Italy. Post-World War I, it joined Italy, then the Free Territory of Trieste, witnessing the Istrian exodus. Since 1991, Kaldanija has been part of Croatia. The settlement's population has seen growth: in 2001, it recorded 126 inhabitants and 49 family households; by 2011, the population rose to 229, and as of the 2021 census, it counts 273 residents. Kaldanija spans an area of 3.1 km2, situated at coordinates 45°26′35″N 13°37′48″E, with a zip code of 52460 Buje.
