Rustic-style villa with a beautiful view Vižinada is a place with an exceptionally rich historical and cultural heritage, and traces of life from prehistory, antiquity and the early Middle Ages are already visible on the surrounding hillforts.
Near the village of Ferenci, archaeological research in the early 1950s found traces of a Slavic necropolis from the 7th century, and the first written mention from 1177 speaks of Vižinada as the property of the bishops of Poreč. From the 12th to the 15th century, it was a fief of various families, and in 1530 it was purchased by Count Girolamo Grimani. Until the 17th century, the Venetian authorities settled it with refugees from Dalmatia and other regions fleeing the Ottoman conquests. It had a port on the Mirna River in Baštija, and in the wall of the former fontik on the historic square there is still a plaque with a price list for transportation for various types of products that were traded. Vižinada was one of the Glagolitic centers where Glagolitic was written until the 17th century. If you need a vacation, preferably surrounded by olive groves and vineyards, far from the city noise, this beauty is exactly what you are looking for!
