Located on a hill to the south of Motovun, this little village, together with its surroundings, used to be a centre of sorts for blacksmiths, weavers and stonecutters. Today, it is a place that boasts many attractions and magnificent landscapes. Take a peek inside the Chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Church of St Rocco, and take in views of the Istrian region from the high walls of the Venetian loggia.
