Opis
The cove of Cesara is located 0.8 M south of Medveja on the border between the municipalities of Lovran and Mošćenička Draga, and also the historical border between the medieval communes of Mošćenice and Lovran. This spacious cove with a pebble beach is a famous fishing spot. There are two others in the immediate vicinity: Pod brest and Strmica (for trawl nets). The decision as to who could fish at individual spots was made by drawing the names of the fisherman or fishing company so that there would be no quarrel. The importance of this fishing spot is also known from a historical source, a document from the archives of the Rijeka Jesuit College of 6 August 1742 on determining the right to fish in the cove of Cesara, in the border area between Lovran and Mošćenice, i.e. the Kastav Manorial Estate and Pazin County. Mošćenice was part of the Kastav Manorial Estate, while Lovran, together with Brseč and Vranja, from 1443 belonged to Pazin County. The document established the right to fish, direct income and other benefits in the cove of Cesara (Valle Cesara), and also stipulated that the cove would be used alternately, according to the even-odd-year system, with all its income and the right to fish, for one year. The fishermen’s house near the beach was built in 1933 by Jedriško from Kali, using stones from the beach. After several changes of ownership (Engineer Lamer, Petar Svala), it was renovated in 1965 and has been owned by the Brubnjak fishing family ever since. As on other beaches, the boats used to be pulled ashore. The torrent stream here was used for laundry, and the inhabitants of Sv. Anton went down to the cove for drinking water.
