Renowned French writer of adventure and science fiction novels Jules Verne (1828-1905) dedicated the Pazin Cave and the Castle the main dramatic role in his novel Mathias Sandorf (1885).
In the novel, the Hungarian count Mathias Sandorf is disclosed in his conspiracy against the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, taken to the Castle of Pazin and sentenced to death before the military court. Sandorf escapes from the Castle descending a cliff of the Cave of Pazin and reaches an abyss. Drifted by the swollen Pazincica River, he reaches the Lim Canal and Rovinj through the Istrian underground.
