Kameniti gradić Bale koji i danas nudi istarsku tradiciju i arhitekturu kazuju areheološka istraživanja na tom prostoru postoji još u doba Rimskog carstva. Baljanska utvrda branila je trgovački put između Pule i unutrašnjosti Istre. Rimski kastrum u srednjem je vijeku postao gradić utvrđen bedemima, a prvi se put spominje kao Castrum Vallis, odnosno Valle 965. godine.
