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