Istrian Demarcation

Istrian Demarcation, State Archive in Rijeka

The Istrian Demarcation or Istrian Perambulation (Croatian: Istarski razvod) is a legal document on the demarcation of territories between neighbouring municipalities in Istria, currently shared by Croatia, Slovenia, and Italy. More precisely, between the possessions of the Patriarchate of Aquileia, the Count of Gorica and Pazin and the representatives of the Venetian Republic. In addition to the borders that were being agreed upon only in disputed parts of Istria, the Istrian Demarcation also established the payment of fees for the use of forests, vineyards and pastures.

Although the document gives a date of 1325, this is sometimes corrected to 1275 on the basis of other internal evidence.[1]
