MOTOVUN
Standing proud on top of a hill above the fertile valley of the Mirna River, Motovun is probably the most beautiful medieval town in Istria. The longest Istrian staircase, with 1052 steps, lead to the Venetian square in the centre of town. From the rich architectural heritage of Motovun especially noteworthy are the city gates with tower, renaissance town palace, town lodge, the late-Renaissance church of St. Stephen, the smaller churches of Madonna dei Servi and Madonna delle porte, the medieval layout of the streets, town cisterns and many coats of arms on the building facades.
Motovun is host to many cultural and social events attended by people from all over the world, including Motovun Film Festival.
