A medieval hill-fortress rising 277 metres over the Mirna Valley; surrounded by the Motovun Forest famous for its white truffles; the Venetian colonial architecture remains perfectly preserved within the 13th-century walls; stand on the ramparts at 7 am when the valley is buried in a sea of fog; only the stone campanile pierces the mist; the air carries the heavy; earthy scent of damp oak.
