Hum is located in the north-central Croatia Istria Peninsula, Guinness World Records certified "the world's smallest city". This miniature ancient city has a population of only about 20-30 people, but has a complete urban structure and a thousand years of history. Its iconic stone-walled hilltop castle, built in 1102 as a medieval military fortress, still retains its Romanesque architecture.
The 12th-century church of St. Jerome, with its frescoes in Gothic and Renaissance styles, remains in the old town of Khoum. The traditional annual "Election of the Mayor of Khum", in which the inhabitants of Khum vote for their leader on wooden boards, is a unique folklore that has been practiced for centuries. At the entrance to the city, the stone boulevard "Glagolitic Alley" inscribes the history of Croatian writing in the ancient Glagolitic alphabet.
Visitors can walk through the main street, which is only 100 meters long, and visit the hand-forged silver jewelry workshop in Hum and taste the local specialty, Biska. It is a 2-hour drive from the capital Zagreb, and it is recommended to combine this with a visit to the nearby town of Rovin. The best time to visit is from May to September, when you can take part in the medieval-themed summer festivals.
Agué is a town in the department of Mono in the Republic of Benin, a West African country, located in the south of the country, about 70 kilometers from Cotonou, the economic capital. It has a tropical climate with an average annual temperature of about 27°C and abundant rainfall during the rainy season (April-October), which makes it suitable for agriculture.
The economy of Agua is based on agriculture, mainly planting palm, corn, cassava and other crops, and there are small-scale agro-processing factories in the vicinity. In recent years, relying on the geographical advantage of being adjacent to the Nigerian border, it has gradually developed cross-border trade and become one of the regional commodity distribution centers.
The local population is mostly made up of the Fon and Yoruba, and retains traditional ritual dances and other folklore activities. Transportation is mainly based on the road network, with access to the main Cotonou-Lagos International Highway. The town infrastructure is relatively simple, with predominantly low-rise buildings that retain the character of West African rural settlements.
