'''Barban''' ({{langx|it|Barbana}}, [[Čakavian dialect|Čakavian]] ''Barbon'', or ''Brban'') is a small town and municipality in the southern part of eastern [[Istria]], [[Croatia]].
The municipality of Barban covers an area of around 100 km<sup>2</sup> and contains 23 settlements with a total of 2,491 people.
==History==
The site of a [[Bronze Age]] prehistoric [[hill fort]], human remains have been found on the site that dates back approximately 3,400-4,000 years back. The name Barban appears for the first time in an ecclesiastic document dated 740 A.D. In the [[Middle Ages]], the town was fortified while under control of feudal lords from [[Pazin]], and parts of those [[medieval]] fortifications can still be seen. In the second half of the 13th century, having been depopulated by the plague in 1312, a small colony of Dalmatians from Finodol settled in the area, brought by the counts of [[Gorizia]].
In 1374, upon the death of Albert IV, Count of Pazin, it became a full [[Habsburg]] possession, before being taken over by the [[Republic of Venice]] in the 16th century. The Loredan [[noble family]] bought Barban from the [[Count|counts]] in [[Pazin]] in 1535. <ref>{{Cite web |title=ISTRA.HR |url=https://www.istra.hr/hr/destinacije/barban |access-date=2023-04-26 |website=www.istra.hr |language=hr}}</ref>
In the main square, which is reached by passing through ''Velika Vrata'' (the Great Gate, 1718), stands the St. Nicholas [[parish church]] with [[baroque]] altars and paintings by Venetian masters from the 16th-18th centuries, a Late Gothic stone tabernacle, and wooden baroque sculptures.

==Prstenac tournament==
[[File:Barban 37 trka na prstenac samuel štoković slavodobitnik pogađa sridu.jpg|thumb|left|upright|2012 Prstenac tournament]]
An equestrian tournament, known as ''Trka na prstenac'' and very similar to [[Sinjska alka]], is held in Barban on the third Sunday in August. It is a medieval jousting game that goes back to 1696 in Barban, but it is much older in origins and is otherwise celebrated in various forms in several medieval towns in [[Italy]] today. This tradition draws tourists and spectators in great numbers in a lively and popular celebration.
