Description

The village is situated 18 km north-west of Matulji, near the municipality road which leads from Vele Mune and Male Mune to Opatija and Rijeka, in karst valley between two mountain ridges.

The village is specific for its inhabitants Ćići, so-called Istro-Romanians, who settled here in the late 15th, or early 16th century from 1510 until 1525, when by Krsto Frankopan were settled villages Vele Mune, Male Mune, and Žejane.[2] In the document were mentioned settled families and their surnames, of which the most were preserved until today.[3]
