Northwards of Slovenian Istria, there is a tiny portion of the peninsula that lies in Italy.〔〔 This smallest portion of Istria consists of the ''comunes'' of Muggia and San Dorligo della Valle, with the place of Santa Croce (Trieste) farthest north.
The ancient region of ''Histria'' extended over a much wider area, including the whole Kras plateau until the southern edges of the Vipava Valley, the southwestern portions of modern Inner Carniola with Postojna and Ilirska Bistrica, and the Italian Province of Trieste, but not the Liburnian coast which was already part of Illyricum.〔Leonhard Schmitz, (''A manual of ancient geography'' ), pg. 131, The British Library (2010), ISBN B003MNGWVI〕
