Rakalj is a small town located on the west coast of the bay Rasha not far from Pula in Istria. It was first mentioned back in 1190, and then it was known for its traditional Istrian ceramics, a tradition that has been revived today for tourist purposes. Rakalj is attractive because of its cultural and historical sights (baroque parish church built in the 18th century, the ruins of the castle Rakalj), as well as ethnographic collections located in the birthplace of scholars and writers Mijo Mirkovic (Mate Balota). Stari Rakalj, is located closer to the sea on a small hill by the beautiful bay of Raska. The location and surroundings are rich in lush vegetation and playful wildlife and as such are suitable for rural tourism, hunting and hiking. Rakalj offers a beautiful picturesque landscape, clear sea, warm sun and silence. Many beautiful beaches are hidden from view, providing a feeling of freedom and privacy.

We came here majorly for a hunting expedition. This place was a lovely hunting ground and also enjoyed the cool air and green vegetation. I loved the experience.

As i stood on that hill where it is located i had a lot of time just to reminisce about life, there was a great sight of vegetation, wrm sun and crisp blue sea. The place was rich in culture and old collections that i loved to interact with and the walk into the wild life was satisfying

We stayed at the beautiful beach that provided the peace and the quietness that we were craving for providing a perfect spot to escape the bustle and hustle of town. We admired the magical views of the entire Rakalj from the hills. A ideal place for adventure lovers.

Hunting and hiking were some of the fun activities that we involved us in during our vacation here. We also graced our eyes with the ethnographic collections located at the birthplace of scholars. We summed up our trip by visiting the baroque building of the parish church which is among the historical sights to behold.

The scenic view of this place is so breathtaking. The turquoise blue waters were just tempting me for a swim. I enjoyed sunbathing on its sandy beaches. It was so relaxing. The boat ride was a magical experience. I will definitely visit this town again.

The ruins of the Castle of Rakalj is quite ancient but one could still picture its design. This town is really ancient and its known for its cultural and historical places. Its beaches were lovely. It was very quiet and peaceful. I enjoyed relaxing by the beach.

The cultural and historical sights in this location were an added experience. I particularly loved touring the baroque parish church that was built in the 18th century and the ruins of the castle Rakalj. I learned about the history behind their construction and their cultural significance.
