The Brijuni, also called the Brionian Islands or Isole Brioni in Italian, are a group of fourteen small islands in the Croatian portion of the northern Adriatic Sea. The narrow Fažana Strait, also called the Fasana Channel, separates the islands from the Istrian peninsula's west coast.
Two kilometers (1.2 miles) off the coast is the largest island, Veliki Brijun Island (5.6 km2), also called Brioni Grande in Italian or Veli Brijun in Croatia. Mali Brijun is the second largest island, with 1.07 square kilometers (0.41 square miles), and there are twelve smaller islands. The islands, a Croatian National Park and vacation destination, are well-known for their natural beauty.When the principal leaders of the Non-Aligned Movement gathered with Yugoslav President Tito in 1956 to create the Brioni Declaration, which formed the basis for the policies the movement would adhere to, the islands became internationally famous. The Brioni Agreement of 1991 was another occasion that happened on the islands.
Although there were a few ancient Roman colonies on the Brijuni Islands, the islands were primarily utilized for their centuries-old quarries until the late 19th century. The islands were part of medieval Venice, and the city's bridges and palaces were constructed using stone from the islands.Following Napoleon's brief occupation, the islands became a part of the Illyrian Provinces.
