Presentation of Raša

The municipality of Raša (Italian, Arsia; 3,183 inhabitans in 2011, 1,444 in the village of Raša) is located about halfway between Rijeka and Pula, some 30 km north-east of Pula.
Raša is often nicknamed "The Youngest Town in Istria" since it was built in 1937 as a mining settlement; mining is still the most important industry there.
