Multimedia kiosk for the House Maraston visitor center

The tourist board Vižinada wanted to improve the quality of tourist information by equipping a new visitor center "House Maraston" with multimedia. The project involves renovation of a house worth almost 1.3 million kuna, in which multimedia equipment is set up to show selected topics of the center, namely Sweet Istria, Carlotte Grisi and Kelly's Heroes. The aim of this project is to unite the cultural and tourist offer of the municipality of Vižinada in one place.

The House Maraston was built between the 16th and 17th centuries on the north side of the main square, where a cistern was built in the late 18th century. To this day, it is the tallest residential building in the Municipality with four floors and almost 14 meters in height. The purpose of the House Maraston visitor center is to attract visitors to the historic center of the main square and encourage year-round promotion of cultural, historical and tourist facilities in the Municipality of Vižinada.
