Interpretative walk “Experience Motovun”

Take a walk through Motovun accompanied by the Venetian podestà Marco, who will tell you the story of the history of Motovun from the time of the Venetian Republic (Serenissima), which ruled Motovun for 526 years, but also from before and after their rule. Motovun is a picturesque medieval jewel of extremely rich history with the best preserved fortification system in Istria, and the greatest influence on the development and today's look of Motovun had the Venetian Republic, which ruled Motovun from 1271 to 1797.

As part of the interpretive walk, visitors will have the opportunity to get to know the medieval Printing House Antico, which offers a unique production of authentic Motovun souvenirs in the traditional technique of manual printing on a replica of the medieval Gutenberg press, with the possibility of choosing your own motifs and accompanying personal messages to forever perpetuate your memory of day spent in Motovun. The motifs of graphics and illustrations range from idyllic depictions of Motovun to fairy tales and legends of the Istrian climate.

The Venetian podestà Marco is embodied by the experienced tourist guide Hari Vidović. The tour of Motovun is organized in Croatian and English (if needed). The gathering place is near the upper cemetery in Motovun, at the very entrance to the old town, near the movable pillar. Prior notice is required via e-mail: visit.motovun@gmail.com.

The expected end of the interpretation walk is planned for around 8.45 pm, so you have enough time to enjoy top quality food and Motovun wines on the terraces of our restaurants.
