About "View on the hill of Motovun, Istria, Croatia"

by Jeroen de Jongh Photography

About the artwork

Motovun is a charming medieval village in the interior of Croatia's Istrian province, and it is situated on a hill, 270 metres above sea level, overlooking the beautiful valley of the Mirna River, where truffles are found across the river in the Motovun Forest. Motovun's hill is also used for growing grapes, from which Istrian wine is made.

In ancient times, both Celts and Illyrians built their forts on the site of today's Motovun. The village's name is also of Celtic origin, derived from Montona, meaning "a city in the hills". The town grew on the site of an ancient city called Castellieri.

In the 10th and 11th centuries, it belonged to the bishop of Poreč. From 1278 it was taken over by Venice and surrounded by solid walls that are still intact, and used as a walkway with a unique view of the four corners of Istria. The three parts of the town are connected by a system of internal and external fortifications with towers and town gates with elements of Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance styles, built between the 14th and 17th centuries. It is a typical example of Venetian colonial architecture.

Motovun is also known for its lively cultural scene. The town organises various events throughout the year, including concerts, art exhibitions and traditional festivals celebrating Istrian culture. Visitors can explore the narrow cobbled streets, full of craft shops, galleries and cosy cafés.
