Barban je slikovito malo istarsko selo smješteno na prekrasnoj visoravni koja odvaja grad Labin od područja Pule. Kroz povijest Barban je imao strateški položaj dominirajući visokim terenom i kontrolirajući dolinu i most na rijeci Raši. Selo se polako razvilo u utvrđeni dvorac s okruglim i četvrtastim kulama, čvrstim obrambenim zidinama i velikim i malim gradskim vratima. U 16.stoljeću ga je od grofova Pazina kupila bogata mletačka plemićka obitelj zvana Loredans čiji su je članovi, iako su privremeno živjeli u Barbanu srušili i izgradili raskošnu palaču i župnu crkvu sv. Nikole. Najpoznatija povijesna osoba Barbana je kanonik Pietro Stancovich, autor knjige "Biografije uglednih Istrana" u kojoj je ovjekovječio čak 478 vodećih istarskih ličnosti. Danas je Barban poznat po tradicionalnoj viteškoj igri Trka na prstenac (trka za prsten), blagdanu vina i smokvi, što privlači sve više i više posjetioca svake godine.

I had the chance of having horse riding and other activities. The view is wonderful with it being near the sea and the nature is great. It was fun to be there.

I had a spiritual time at the churches and cathedrals that was great and felt closer and cleansed after the prayers and talks that were rejuvinating and reforming.
