Dvigrad is a beautiful yet eerie collection of ruins from a once thriving medieval town that was deserted more than 350 years ago. Despite its isolated rural location, curious travellers still manage to find the stirring site. Wander around the fascinating old ruins and imagine what this fortress city may have looked like in its prime. Explore the fortified settlement to see how time has weathered its stone structures. The town first prospered under the Roman Empire and later came under the rule of Venice in the 15th century. Over the next century or two, the Dvigrad townsfolk suffered numerous devastating blows. Bouts of malaria and the plague, as well as deadly conflicts and raids, all took their toll on the town’s residents. Eventually, the town was completely deserted. Though overgrown with vegetation and crumbling in parts, the city’s basic layout is still recognizable and many of its walls and battlements are still intact. Walk along the dirt paths and see what you can identify. There are no information plaques here so you’ll have to use your imagination. Look for the remains of the town church, St. Sophia’s, as well as other impressive stone walls and defensive towers. As you stroll through, try to envision the dilapidated town as it once was: a bustling hub of activity and trade. Ascend to the top of the hill to reach the site of the old castle. From here, enjoy astonishing views of the Draga Valley below. Be careful as you walk around, as the paths are often obstructed with fallen rocks that have come loose. Reptiles may also be present here. Watch for lizards lounging on the hot stones or non-poisonous snakes slithering through the overgrown weeds and shrubs. Dvigrad is located near the town of Kanfanar. To get here, head 14 miles (23 kilometres) east from Rovinj and follow the signs for Dvigrad, which is situated down a quiet, remote side road. No public transportation routes lead directly here, so it’s best to drive, walk or cycle. There is no entrance fee. ## Plan a trip to see Dvigrad Price found within the past 48 hours.
