Bale/Valle (Italian: 'Valle d'Istria' , Istro-Romanian: Vale) is a small town and municipality in Istria County, Croatia.
The origins of the settlement lie in the Roman stronghold of Castrum Vallis, built by Caius Palcrus to protect the salt-pan road from Pula/Pola to Poreč/Parenzo.[citation needed]
The municipality covers a total area of 81.65 km2 (31.53 sq mi)[3] and has a total population of 1,127. The town is officially bilingual, Italian and Croatian, hence both town names are official and equal.
Bale/Valle is connected to the Croatian highway network by an exit on the A9 motorway (E751), part of the Istrian Y.
