Municipalities Of Croatia
Municipalities in Croatia ( hr, općina; plural: ''općine'') are the second-lowest administrative unit of government in the country, and along with cities and towns (''grad'', plural: ''gradovi'') they form the second level of administrative subdisivion, after counties. Though equal in powers and administrative bodies, municipalities and towns differ in that municipalities are usually more likely to consist of a collection of villages in rural or suburban areas, whereas towns are more likely to cover urbanised areas. Croatian law defines municipalities as local self-government units which are established, in an area where several inhabited settlements represent a natural, economic and social entity, related to one other by the common interests of the area's population. As of 2017, the 21 counties of Croatia are subdivided into 128 towns and 428 municipalities.

Bembo (family)
The Bembo family was a noble Venetian family, part of the Venetian noble families of most ancient origins (the ''Longhi''). History Although there is no precise information about the origin of the Bembo (there are only late traditions with no historical foundation), the "pseudo-Giustinian" Chronicle of the 1350s lists them in a group of twelve families located just below the ''duodecim nobiliorum proles Venetiarum''. They were therefore one of the most important families already in ancient times, and maintained this prestige until the end of the Republic. The first records date back to the 10th century when they appeared in the public life of the Duchy of Venice giving some ''maggiorenti'' (the so-called "judges"). However, it will be necessary to wait until the second half of the 13th century to see them fully active in public life. Notable members * Marco Bembo (c.1230–1296), politician, diplomat and military man. He was at the head of the crusading squad gathered in Anc ...

Vodnjan
Vodnjan (; it, Dignano) is a town in Istria County, Croatia, located about 10 kilometers north of the largest city in Istria, Pula.

Inside the historic nucleus, the town preserved its characteristic medieval look with atria and narrow irregularly winding streets among houses, with cobblestoned roads and façades, old streets still impressively recognizable by their Gothic, Venetian Renaissance and Baroque style and many churches rich with memories and art.
