The Benussi House
The Benussi House is a Gothic structure with a carved funny inscription by which the house owner is saying to the passers-by: thank you for asking, I am fine.
The windows of the Gothic structure on the south corner of the square have a typical pointed Gothic vault. The structure facade was renovated in the 19th century, when the main entrance gable was also replaced. The old gable was built in the house wall bearing a carved inscription in the Vodnjan dialect from 1448: ' Tali-me-domanda-come-sto-che-mai-co-teto-del-be-che-ho'. It is a funny inscription by which the house owner is saying to the passers-by: thank you for asking, I am fine.
