This part of Croatia is the peninsula off the northern border of that country called the Istria Province.
Motovun is a village in central Istria. It's population is 531 and they all speak Italian. This is, of course, due to WWI, WWII, the end of Yugoslavia, and the conflicts between the borders of the new countries that were formed out of Yugoslavia.
It is a medieval town that grew up on the site of an ancient city. It is situated on a hill 886 feet above sea level with houses scattered all over the hill.
