Motovun is a small medieval town perched on a hilltop amid the forests of Istria, whose fortifications and narrow cobblestone streets bear witness to a turbulent past stretching from Roman times to Venetian rule. It is known as the truffle capital — these precious fungi grow in the surrounding forests along the Mirna River — and every year it attracts food lovers and film enthusiasts to the renowned Motovun Film Festival. Visit it for the breathtaking views over green Istria that unfold from the town walls, and for unforgettable culinary experiences.
