Rapicio Castle

The Rapicio Castle (Palača Rapicio; Castello Rapicio), also Rapicio House (Kuća Rapicio; Casa Rapicio) was the residence of the Rapicio family in Pazin, Croatia. Located on the edge of a cliff, it was built in the 16th century. It was bombed together with the Italian gymnasium in World War II, and today the only vestiges are its ruins.

History
The house was built by the Rapicios in the cinquecento. They had moved to Pazin in the same century, inter-marrying with the most prominent families of the County of Pisino. It was built on the edge of a cliff (foiba), near Pazin Castle, probably for safety reasons.

The castle was bombed along with the Italian gymnasium during World War II. Dilapidated, its ruins are still present.
