Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Istria MemorialPrint Page 
The plaque commemorates the people from the Istria Peninsula in Croatia who were oppressed by Nazi, Fascist and Communist regimes.
Istria became part of Yugoslavia after the end of World War Two. Before that it was part of Italy, and is very much influenced by Italian culture. It was called ” Terra Magica” in Roman times. Istria is much more westernised than the rest of Croatia.
