A vertical sundial on the south facade of the family home. According to Roman Malinarić, the owner of the house in the 1990s, his family moved in in 1941. In 1992, he restored the sundial by cleaning the dial and painting the numbers. He estimates that the sundial is over a hundred years old, adding: "The hours were deeply struck for all three months of the year, and the children used to shoot sparrows on a rod with a pjonbon, and the rod had become slightly bent in the meantime." The house originally belonged, like the entire village, to the wealthy Poreč landowner Polesini. Today, it is owned by Severino Deković.
