Umag is a city of distinctive and rich history and culture, a city where the Mediterranean and Mitteleuropa meet and interpenetrate. For thousands of years the Mediterranean was an area where civilizations were formed and dissolved. Through maritime routes exchange of goods took place, while at the same time trade expanded culture. This is a special place, I dare say, a stage on which dynamic and dramatic action took place. What is remarkable is the fact that it is understandable to everyone because of its common civilization origin, which affects all aspects of human existence: basic economic activities, traditional architecture and language. The Greek cultural influence, followed by centuries of Roman rule, were the main drivers of prosperity on the shores of the “Mare Nostrum”, as it was called by the Romans.
