==Sights== [[File:Pazin, view to the abbey St. Nicholas.jpg|thumb|left|Saint Nicholas' Abbey]] The current town was mostly built beneath the medieval fortress. The present-day [[Pazin Castle]] was rebuilt in the 15th and 16th century and disassembled in the 18th and 19th. It has been a museum since the end of [[World War II]]. The Pazin [[ponor]] (''Pazinska jama/Foiba'') located under the castle was partially explored by [[Édouard-Alfred Martel]] in 1896 and is the best example of [[karst]] hydrography and morphology in Istria. Castle and a gorge inspired [[Jules Verne]] for the novel ''[[Mathias Sandorf]]'' of 1885. Pazin was also home to the [[Rapicio Castle]], built in the 16th century. The Castle was bombed and badly damaged during [[World War II]] together with the Italian Gymnasium.<ref name="Alberi"/> Today, its ruins are still visible.<ref name="Alberi"/>
