Buzet is standing on the top of hill,above the fertile river Mirna valley. It was first mentioned as the prehistoric ruin of a castle, made like the acropolis, which top people could reach climbing circularly, like to the edge of a snail shell.
The settlement runs downward slope of the hill from the north to teh south. It has two town gates, four squares connected with three main streets. The main square with the parish church is chiseled uot in the live rock. The waterwell which dates thr 18th century was once the heart of the town.
