The village of Gologorica is located on a flysch ridge above the vast fertile valley of the Raša river basin. This area must have been inhabited already in prehistory, and it was first mentioned in 1102 as the center of a fief bought by the nobleman Konrad.
In front of the very entrance to Gologorica is the Romanesque church of the Blessed Virgin Mary, painted with Gothic frescoes around 1400 by the hand of an unknown craftsman.
Gologorica is entered through the Vela vrata, in ancient times it was the main gate, from it, a short alley leads to the square in front of the church dominated by the De Franceschi house, built in 1711. The walled mound in the center of the settlement is the former cemetery, where the parish church of St. Peter and Paul was built in the 17th century. Previously, there was an older one in that place, from which the Gothic reliefs of the Crucifixion and the burial of Jesus from 1466 have been preserved.
There is a small church of All Saints in the cemetery, and in it there is a Glagolitic inscription from 1549 on a stone container for blessed water.
Not far from Gologorica is the Piskovica cave, named after the pisk (marl) that shaped the surrounding landscape. The cave is a unique speleological object of its kind in Istria, but also the longest cave in Istria.
