Peroj
Peroj ( cnr, Перој) is a village in the Town of Vodnjan on the south-western coast of Istria, Croatia. Peroj originally dates back to the Copper Age of prehistory, as testified by a necropolis within the old walls of the town. The town has been settled with families from a variety of origins throughout its history. During the occupation of the Romans, the town was named Pedrolo, and was a popular holiday destination. Etymology The term "Peroj" is of debatable origin. One theory suggested by Bernardo Schiavuzzi claims that near modern-day Peroj existed a settlement known as ''Petroriolum'' (''Petroro'') ca. 1197. Camillo de Franceschi, however, suggested that Peroj derives from the archaic name "Pedroli". An alternate theory suggests that the Montenegrin settlers derived the term Peroj from the Albanian word for stream - ''përrua'' (definite "përroi"). History In 1562 the town had been emptied due to malaria and plague, and Leonardo Fioravanti from Bologna brought to t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
