The houses, with a typical Istrian architecture, are dedicated to Šavrnikas, our grandmothers and great grandmothers who used to transport local delicacies to Koper or Trieste using donkeys and sell the products door-to-door. They were named after the types of products they sold. Milklady primarily sold milk and milk related products like cheese and cottage cheese, Egglady sold eggs, and Breadlady sold bread. Each house presents the story of Šavrnikas and a brief historical description of Slovenian Istria.
