Hum (Italian: Colmo; German: Cholm) is a town in the central part of Istria, northwest Croatia, 7 km from Roč, 14 km southeast of Buzet on a hill above the Mirna valley. The elevation of the town is 349 m. This small fortified habitation has maintained all the features of medieval urban architecture and organization.
Hum has a population of only 17 people (2001 census)[1], but is officially a town, and is the Guinness World Record holder for the smallest town in the world.[citation needed] The town museum displays a few Glagolitic writings.
