'''Savudrija''' ({{Langx|it|Salvore}}) is a coastal settlement in northwestern [[Istria]], [[Croatia]].<ref>[https://umag.hr/ Umag] - Umag {{in lang|hr}}</ref> It has developed from a fishing village into a pleasant holiday centre. Savudrija is also the name of the surrounding area in the peninsula.
The 19th century [[Savudrija Lighthouse]] is a distinctive local landmark; it is the oldest in Croatia, and the oldest operational light of the [[Adriatic]]. The {{convert|29|m|ft|adj=mid|-high}} [[lighthouse]] is also the most northerly in Croatia.<ref name=rowlett>{{cite rowlett|hrv1| accessdate= 10 February 2015}}</ref> Three kinds of wind meet here, so the area is popular with [[windsurfing|windsurfers]].
==History==
{{unreferenced section|date=November 2015}}
As evidenced by archaeological finds, the Savudrija area has been settled since the Neolithic period. The Roman port facilities still remain intact. In the vicinity of Savudrija are some notable Roman sites, in particular a Roman fort on the peninsula. The village was mentioned in written sources in the second part of the 12th century and was part of the [[Piran]] municipality from the 13th century, while today it is part of [[Istria County]] in Croatia. On 18 February 1893, Savudrija became part of the Piran municipality.
The territory remained part of the municipality of Piran until 1947, when the municipality of Savudrija was set up. In 1954, when the [[Free Territory of Trieste]] was dissolved and its southern part became officially part of [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia]], Savudrija was joined to the [[Socialist Republic of Croatia]] in accordance with the decisions of [[ZAVNOH]].{{Clarify|date=November 2015}}{{citation needed|date=November 2015}}
==Demographics==
According to the 2021 census, its population was 195.<ref name="Census 2021" /> It was 253 in 2011.<ref>{{Croatian Census 2011|S|18|4685}}</ref>
According to the last [[Austria-Hungary|Austrian]] census in 1910, almost 79% of the population of the Savudrija territory was [[Italian language|Italian]]-speaking, 14% were [[Slovene language|Slovene]]-speaking. During the period of Italian rule (1922–1945), the zone was almost completely [[Italianization|Italianized]]. According to the first ethnic census in 1945, Savudrija had a Croatian majority, with 54% [[Croats]], 30% [[Italians]], and 14% [[Slovenes]]. Following the decisions of the Paris Peace Treaty (1947), many ethnic Italians opted to relocate to Italy. Today, Savudrija remains largely Croatian-speaking, but there is a small Italian minority, and most topographic signs are [[bilingual]].
