Visit Grožnjan

Just 20 minutes from Umag, the medieval town of Grožnjan is the town of artists and music. The hill, surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, was a sandstone elevation resulting from soil splitting caused by two streams: Kanistran and Pistion. From Grožnjan there is a view of twenty surrounding Istrian towns, on the valley of Mirna, and on the sea from Novigrad to Umag. Shrubs and castles point to its medieval past, and almost every entrance preserves some of its story of the ancient Graecinians.
