The Blaz Bay is located on the part of Rakalj of Rasa Bay, roughly 25 kilometers from Labin, as much of Pula. It can be reached after in Barban at the intersection of the draw for the village Hreljići you turn to Rebic and go straight down. Throughout history this bay was an important transportation route, which during the Roman time linked Pula with Trsat.

According to the stories in that bay were five mills that stood in the level of the sea, which is quite rare, and there were several water sources that are out there today. Remindings of it are a few remnants of abandoned mill building. Water that emerged in this area was of exceptional quality, which leads to the fact that people came to pick her up from distant parts of Istria, like St.Lovreč. Empty barrels were loaded on bullock cart, they would be brought down to Trget then by boats were transhipped by sea to the Blaze. There the water was poured, then carefully it was brought back. Regarding the bay and a legend dating back to the crown of King Tomislav, which was supposedly in the 10th century hidden in a Blaze. The story is related to Belavići village, not far from the bay. Specifically, in the 13th century Venetian governor visited the places for collecting the tax, and it was usually hosted by protocol local village head. It was in this case Grgo Belavić, who after the completion of the administrative part, for the Venetian governor and his men prepared a rich dinner, with lots of wine. When dinner was gone, and the participants fell under the influence of wine, the host briefly sneaked out of the house, that would be returned shortly afterwards with a crown, scepter in hand, mantle and other regalia. Shortly he walked in front of the guests and disappeared again. The next morning, remembering vaguely about the event, the Venetian governor asked the host about the strange event, but Grgo Belavić very firmly said that nothing unusual had happened the previous night except fun. That is all attributed to the influence of wine, and it remains to be found if the crown of King Tomislav is still in Blaz bay. Today the bay is totally outside all life flows.

One of the most beautiful buildings in the old heart of Labin, and also one of the best preserved and most representative Baroque palaces throughout Istria, is surely the Battiala Lazzarini Palace. The building captures the attention with its size and surface area of almost one thousand square meters and the abundantly decorated façade of reddish colour and with blue windows. It was built by the Battiala family, partly during the 17th and partly during the 18th century, and later on it was thoroughly renovated and reconstructed by 1994. The Palace has been nationalized after World War II. A boarding school for pupils was first opened in the Palace and then turned into apartments, and since 1960 the Labin Folk Museum has been located within the building. The museum is adorned by a rich archaeological, ethnographic, cultural and historical collection and a unique replica of a mining horizon which is worth seeing. The first owners of the Palace, the Battiala family, were of Turkish and Albanian descent, and they settled in Labin in 1727. In the 19th century Margherita Battiala married Lodovic Lazzarini and it was that very marriage that marked the beginning of the Labin part of the Battiala Lazzarini family. The Lazzarini family moved to Istria from Tuscany as early as in the 14th century. They were later awarded the title of barons. The last owners of the Palace werethree brothers: Giuseppe, Nicolò and Tommaso. The family coat of arms, which can still be seen within the Palace, contains the symbols of immortality, the phoenix bird and the saying “Moriendo renascitur”.

Town loggia was a center of life in the past where news and court verdicts were read out. Peasants danced there every Sunday and on fair days. Built in 1550, it later got a collection of stone monuments. Pillar of shame in front of the loggia.
