Sažetak
The fortified settlement Guran, close to Vodnjan in Southern Istria, was built at the time of Carolingian invasion of the Istrian Peninsula at the beginning of the 9th century. It was abandoned towards the end of the Middle Ages. It therefore offers a lot of data about the organization of fortified settlements in the early Middle Ages, and their transformation protracted through a long period, to the end of the Middle Ages.
Guran is also an ideal, equally paradigmatic example for the study of micro-regional transformations of the landscape through a longer period of time, during which a large basilica was built outside the original settlement, along with St Simon’s church and graveyard, a Roman villa which survived until the Middle Ages and St Cecilia’s church at the southern limits of the site.
