History

According to a 12-century copy of a document dated August 4th, 792, Buja (Boga) was donated to Patriarch Paulinus II of Aquileia by Charlemagne. In 1371, Patriarch Marquard of Randeck granted Buia its own communal statues, establishing a Council of Twenty-Four which annually elected a mayor from its membership.
