Raša (Croatia)
Raša (Italian: Arsia) is a town and municipality in the inner part of the Raška Cove in the south-eastern part of Istria, Croatia, 4.5 km southwest of Labin; elevation 10 m.
Situated in the valley of the Krapanski Brook (a tributary of the Raša river), near the village of Krapan, where the first pit of the Raša coal basin was opened. Originally a swamp, the valley around the Raša was gradually drained and improved to gain arable land. Chief occupation is farming. Raša lies at the intersection of the main road (M2, E751) and a regional road, and at the railway junction connected with the railway station Most - Raša and the port Brsica in the Raša Bay.
The Roman station Arsia has been identified on this location.
