Its territory encompasses the limestone plateau at an average altitude of 250-300 m above sea level, overlooking the Raša River valley, which stretches along its entire northwestern part from Čepićko polje towards the sea and the Bay of Raša. This unique location, with its proximity to the sea and lush forests, signifies the fusion of green and blue Istria, representing great potential for development.
The wealth of cultural heritage in this area includes medieval fortresses, manor complexes of Labin nobility and a beautiful natural landscape above the Raša River valley. Sveta Nedelja was inhabited as far back as the Bronze Age, when Illyrian-Celtic tribes built fortresses on the hills, but the real development of this area occurred in the 19th century with the opening of a mining shaft in Štrmac, giving rise to a new mining settlement. Significant decline in mining during the 1970s and 1980s led to a change in the way of life for the residents of this area, who had to turn to other sectors of the economy, including tourism.
Nedešćina (Sveta Nedelja) is a village located 5 km north of Labin, which was once an important transportation hub and is now engaged in crafts and entrepreneurship. The park in Nedešćina represents an impressive combination of art and nature on 33 hectares of land, declared a monument of park architecture as far back as 1974 and is now significant as a unique horticultural facility in Istria. Dubrova Sculpture Park, enriched with a rich collection of sculptures created during the Mediterranean Sculpture Symposium, attracts visitors as a favorite destination for walking and socializing. The "Dolac" Amphitheater further enriches the park's cultural offerings as a venue for various artistic performances and events.
The municipality's area hides a rich cultural heritage and natural beauty that will reveal the story of the long and fascinating history of this region, encouraging a desire for further exploration.
