Oprtalj, situated on the hill reachable from Motovun-Montona
along the narrow southward plateau is according to many, one
of the most picturesque towns of the northern Istria. Oprtalj or
Portole, which is its Italian name, was formerly a fort surrounded
by defensive walls on which houses were built among barely
protruding former town gates. In front of the gates, there is a huge
Venetian loggia with the collection of stone monuments and an
immediate vicinity of a plateau situated on the high fortifications
offering the view all the way to the sea.
This area is famous for three more locations well-known for its
sights. Below Oprtalj next to the Mirna river, there is Livade, a
world centre of truffles. In the immediate vicinity of Livade, Zrenj
also called Sridone is situated, a former town of skilful and rich
craftsmen such as blacksmiths, weavers, stone-masons and the
birth place of St. Geronimo. Below the 85 meters high rock, on
the spring of healing water of St. Stephen there is a health resort
‘Istrian Spa’.
