History
Plomin sits on a nearly-vertical rock above a deep coastal bay in eastern Istria, its stone houses stacked so tightly that some rooms are literally carved into the cliff. The village is home to the Plomin Tablet — one of the oldest known inscriptions in the Glagolitic script, the medieval Croatian alphabet. Very few tourists find their way here; that's exactly why you should.
“The Plomin Tablet, dating to around the 11th century, is one of the earliest surviving examples of the uniquely Croatian Glagolitic alphabet still in situ.”
