Should you find yourself in Buje, walk along the old, stone-paved streets to the town’s ancient centre on the hill. On the main square, next to the resplendent Church of St. Servulus, stands a belfry dating back to the 15th century. A view of four countries from the bell tower In fair weather, the view from the belfry encompasses parts of four countries: Slovenia, Italy, Austria and Croatia. To the north, the view reaches across the landscape of the Slovenian Littoral up to the Italian and Austrian Alps. You can see the Slavnik and Nanos, Slovenian mountains in the hinterland of Kopar, as well as the Piran Bay. To the east is Učka, Istria’s only mountain. Using binoculars, you should be able to see Venice, the world famous Italian city built on the sea. Spreading out before you is the Adriatic Sea, and the towns of Istria’s coast and interior – Novigrad, Tar, Brtonigla, Momjan and many others. The bell tower in Buje – one of the highest in Istria the belfry has been completely renovated to allow visits for a greater number of tourists. The wooden stairs leading to the top have been reconstructed. A safety railing and transparent, Plexiglas sheets protect the observatory encircling the bells, providing an unobstructed view in all four directions. A wire mesh protects the bells, which are also an attraction. The belfry is one of the highest in Istria, next only to the 63-metre belfry in Vodnjan, some 70 kilometres to the south. Buje – “the Guard of Istria” and a city with two bell towers What makes Buje even more interesting is the fact that its old town has two belfries. The second belfry, slightly lower but nonetheless imposing, is located next to the Mother of Mercy Church. The bell tower was given the nickname “the guard of Istria” because it was the watchtower for the entire region, and the 13th-century city seal bore the image of the bell tower, the guard of the city.

Zateknete li se u Bujama, uspnite se starim, popločanim uličicama do jezgre starog grada na brežuljku. Ovdje se, na glavnom trgu, smjestila raskošna crkva Svetog Servula i pored nje zvonik iz 15. stoljeća. Pogoduje li vedro vrijeme, s njega puca pogled na dijelove čak četiriju država - Slovenije, Italije, Austrije i Hrvatske. Na sjever, pogled se proteže kroz krajolike slovenskog primorja sve do talijanskih i austrijskih Alpa. Sjajno se vide slovenska gorja u zaleđu Kopra, Slavnik i Nanos, te Piranski zaljev, a na istoku i jedina istarska planina Učka. Ponesete li dalekozor, vidjet ćete Veneciju, znameniti talijanski grad na moru. Kao na dlanu pruža se Jadransko more te gradići na istarskoj obali i unutrašnjosti – Novigrad, Tar, Brtonigla, Momjan i mnogi drugi. Premda se i ranije moglo na zvonik, on je uoči ovog ljeta potpuno uređen za veći broj posjetitelja. Obnovljene su drvene stepenice do vrha, a sam opservatorij, izveden kao ophod oko zvona, zaštićen je ogradom i prozirnim pločama od pleksiglasa. Na taj je način omogućen slobodan pogled na sve četiri strane svijeta. I sama zvona, koja su istom prilikom dobila žičanu zaštitu, atrakcija su za sebe. Također, ovaj je zvonik među najvišima u Istri, pored onoga u 70-ak kilometara udaljenom Vodnjanu na jugu Istre koji se pruža čak 63 metra u vis. Buje su zanimljive i po tome što u starom gradu imaju dva zvonika. Osim spomenutog zvonika -vidikovca u srcu starog grada, nešto niži, no svejedno impresivni zvonik nalazi se uz crkvu Majke Milosrđa.
