BRIONIAN ISLANDS

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 573 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BRI-BUN
BRIONIAN ISLANDS , a
group
  of small islands, in the Adriatic Sea, off the west
coast
  of
Istria
 , from which they are separated by the narrow Canale di Fasana. They belong to
Austria
  and
are twelve in number. Up to a
recent
  period they were chiefly noted for their quarries, which have been worked for centuries and have supplied material not only for the palaces and bridges of Venice and the whole Adriatic
coast
 , but latterly for Vienna and Berlin also. As they command the entrance to the
naval
  harbour of
Pola
 , a strong fortress, Fort Tegctthoff," has been erected on the largest of them (Brioni), together with
minor
  fortifications on some of the others. The islands are inhabited by about too Italian quarrymen.
