Description: ISTRIA, OPRTALJ - Ancient stone house with a panoramic view of the greenery
Oprtalj is an Istrian town located on a hill that can be reached from the direction of Motovun via a narrow plateau on the south side. At one time, Oprtalj was a fortress surrounded by walls on which houses were built, among which the former city gates also spring. In front of the door is a large Venetian loggia with a lapidary, and next to it on the high ramparts is a plateau from which the view reaches all the way to the sea. This area is extremely famous for truffles, as well as for good olive oil and wines. Livade, a place within the municipality of Oprtalj, is also called the 'World Center of Truffles', since white and black truffles thrive here, especially along the Mirna River and the Motovun Forest, while at the source of the medicinal water of St. Stjepan, at the foot of the 85-meter high rock, where the nearby Istrian Spa was built.
The wonderful landscape, colorful facades and atmosphere that reigns in this small town will captivate you so much that you will want to come back again. In addition to Motovun, Grožnjan is also nearby....
