About the area
Lanterna has been an important coastal settlement since medieval times, with its iconic lighthouse first constructed in the 19th century to guide ships through the rocky Adriatic waters. The lighthouse, originally built by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, remains one of Istria's most recognizable landmarks and has been restored to serve as a beacon for modern maritime traffic. Istria has a complex history of rule under various empires including the Romans, Venetians, and Austro-Hungarians, each leaving cultural imprints on the region. The area became part of Croatia following World War II and the dissolution of Yugoslavia, and has since developed into one of the country's premier tourist destinations.
