Why it is worth your time
Step into the quiet square at the very top of town and face this 17th-century church, its design linked to the school of the Venetian master Palladio. Inside wait marble altars and old canvases, while the slender bell tower keeps watch over the rooftops. Climb it if you can, for one of the finest views in all of Istria.
