Kubed - squeezed between the feet of giants

Kubed was mentioned in 1067 by Henry IV in a deed addressed to the Bishop of Freising, by which he granted villages in the territory of the dioceses of Trieste and Koper. It is also mentioned in the deed of donation from the Bavarian Margrave and Duke to the Patriarch of Aquileia in 1102. A military garrison of peasants was stationed in the fort until the end of the Uskok war. As the fortification was located in the narrows above the connecting road and on a point from which the other fortresses could be observed, it was certainly part of Venice's information system. From a military point of view, it was important because it served as a rear fortification for others situated near the border. The first information about the peasant garrison dates back to the first war between Venice and Austria, when captain Civrano resided there together with his mercenary units, the stradioti. During this war the fortification was somewhat destroyed and some time passed until the inspectors convinced the Venetian authorities that it was worth repairing. Still in 1556 the Venetian inspector general Morosini found it without a defence tower, partially in ruins and without a guard. The inspector suggested rebuilding it because it was spacious and could hold up to 200 soldiers and 50 knights. Of course, the number of soldiers within the walls only reached this level when wars were raging at their most intense. Being an important strategic stronghold, after this reconstruction the castle was included in every financial spending plan and was thus gradually renovated. The walls were still well preserved long after the end of the Uskok War. Today a good part of the walls is preserved together with the defence tower, which has been converted into a bell tower. In the 17th century, after the withdrawal of the soldiers, a church was also built behind the walls. When the peasant fortification lost its original military function due to a change in military techniques, the population began to build their own dwellings within the walls, using those walls as one side of their homes
