Geocache Description:


Stara grucasta vas Hrvoji se omenja že leta 1055 z imenom Turris Capriaca. Pestra zgodovina Hrvojev in zapušcene kamnite hiše dajejo vasi poseben car. Nad vasjo stoji cerkev Sv. Zenona in ob njej na novo (1997) sezidan Hrvojski zvonik, imenovan tudi »fižolov turn«. Krajani so ga zgradili s prodajo cele letine fižola. Stari stolp je bil enak in se je  leta 1984 po udaru strele podrl.  


Nad Hrvojskim zvonikom je cisto na vrhu grica majhno vaško pokopališce s kapelico. Na vogalih kamnitega zidu stoje starinski kipi, ki ponazarjajo srednjeveške osebnosti. Domacini verjamejo, da varujejo vas pred »mižerjo«.

 

Od tukaj imate najlepši razgled proti morju in tudi proti hribom v notranjosti.

 

Na meji s Hrvaško stoji spomenik, posvecen padlim vseh treh narodnosti v drugi svetovni vojni- Slovencem, Hrvatom in Italijanom.

 

 

 

The old village of Hrvoji was first mentioned in 1055 called Turris Capriaca. The chequered history of Hrvoji and abandoned stone houses give the village a special charm. The church of Sv. Zenon stands above the village and its new tower (1997) is known as “beans tower”.  The tower was built by the locals with the earnings from bean sale. The old tower was the same and it torn down in 1984 after it was damaged by the lighting.

Above Hrvoji tower at the top of the hill there is a small village cemetery with a chapel. At the corners of the stone wall standing antique statues, depicting medieval figures. Locals believe that this figures protect them against misery.

From here you have a beautiful view towards the sea and the hills inland.

On the Croatian border stands a WW2 monument dedicated to the victims of all three nationalities- Slovenians, Croatians and Italians.
