History
The Renaissance castle of Morosini-Grimani anchors one of Istria's most perfectly-preserved medieval squares — a flat 'piazza' of church, castle, loggia and well arranged in Venetian style. The castle stages summer festivals of dance, medieval combat and open-air cinema. The village around it is a slow, gentle place: quiet stone streets, one great konoba, and Istria's flatter interior spreading in every direction.
“The square in front of the castle is designed as a perfect Renaissance ensemble — church, castle, town loggia and well arranged for maximum visual balance.”
