Tupljak, naselje u općini Pićan nalazi se u nizinskom području, a poznat je upravo po rudarstvu. Tu se nalazi posljednji ugljenokop u Hrvatskoj, koji je prestao s radom 1999. godine. Time je poslije gotovo 400 godina rudarenja službeno ugašena proizvodnja ugljena u istarskim ugljenokopima.Tupljak se u povijesnim izvorima prvi puta spominje 1325. godine, u naselju se nalazi jednobrodna župna crkva sv. Bartula sa sakristijom, izgrađena u 15.st., a prema predaji onamo je prešlo sjedište istoimene crkve iz Goretina koje se spominje u Istarskom razvodu. Na groblju se nalazi trobrodna crkva sv. Hadrijana, izgrađena 1796.

There are archaeological sites to behold such as the cemetery which has a three nave church of St Hadrian is built. It was an educative tour as i learnt about the mining of coal in this place which shut in 1999 after 400 years in mining. I also learnt that this destination was the last in Croatia to shut down mining.

I visited this place where I enjoyed exploring the old coal mines where it was believed the miners died. I felt strange when I walked out of here safe because it was believed that there were ghosts. I later visited the church in the cemetery. I loved the experience of visiting this old places.

It is a place rich in history, the best thing about the place is the local people living here who are willing to share a bit of their history and culture. It is one of the last coal mines in Croatia and it is just interesting to know how it came to be, a thrill for any historian.
