Grožnjan
Grožnjan / Grisignana
A hilltop village revived by artists, with stone lanes lined with galleries and studios. Summers bring an international youth music camp.
Grožnjan was nearly abandoned after World War II, but from the 1960s authorities began drawing artists to settle here. Today its stone houses hold galleries, pottery and jewelry studios. In summer, the International Youth Music Association holds music camps here, and the sound of practicing musicians often drifts through the streets. The town has covered walkways, city gates and a church bell tower that overlooks the Mirna River valley. Open all day. It is about 15 km from Motovun and can be visited on the same day.
Opening hours
Open all day; gallery in summer approx. 10:00–20:00
