| The
Maker intended to shape a part of the Earth to the image
of Heaven. That is how Istria came into being, like a garden
covered with magnificent trees and vast meadows, washed
by the deep blue sea, appealing people to a happier life.
But the jealous devil destroyed his work by tearing the
bag in which the angel was carrying the unused stones. Thousands
of rocks scattered around the Istrian land making it a land
of contrasts, gentle and rough, fertile and barren, sunny
and cloudy. The desolated angels gathered the pieces of
Heaven remaining among the scattered rocks and protected
them by the sea waves and created Brijuni. |
