[5] The Ancient Roman factory of Fasana, located in the old center of the town, was noted for its production of ceramics and bricks.
[6] The workshop belonged to the local Lecanii family, and its first known owner was praetor urbanus Caius (Gaius) Laecanius Bassus.
It was a safe heaven, where Roman mercantile ships could dock, and where it was possible to live, work, and go on vacation.
[5][7] In the 6th century AD, the Church of Sant'Eliseo was built in Fasana over the foundations of a palace from the Later Roman Empire period.
It is characterized by Gothic elements and features a 27-meter tall bell tower and Renaissance paintings from the 16th century, including Giorgio Ventura's Ultima Cena from 1598.
[7] The territory of Fažana includes, beside the fishing village, the Ronzi valley to the south, the coast of Peroi in the north, and the town's hinterland, consisting of olive groves and vineyards.
