Why it is worth your time
The lapidarium holds stone fragments from the eighth to the eleventh century, found in and around the Novigrad cathedral: interlace carving, altar screens, inscriptions. The building was purpose-built, concrete and restrained, and it won architecture awards precisely because it does not imitate what it displays. The display is small and clear, and for understanding pre-Romanesque Istria it is worth more than any church you will find locked.
