The Church of St. Michael in Žminj was built in the 16th century and has been one of the most important religious buildings in the area ever since. It boasts exquisite craftsmanship, with colored stones sourced from a mine in nearby Gradišće.

The Morosini-Grimani Castle is the symbol of Svetvinčenat (Sanvincenti) and one of the best-preserved Renaissance fortresses in Istria. Its origins date back to the 13th century, when the De Castro Pola family built their first fortified residence there. Passed to the Morosini family in the 15th century, it was transformed into a true fortress and, after a devastating fire in 1586, rebuilt in Renaissance style by the Grimani family with the help of Venetian architects. The quadrangular structure with three towers and an elegant noble palace combined defensive, administrative, and economic functions: grain storage, armory, and the captain's residence. Topped by the Grimani coat of arms, which later became the emblem of the city, the castle endured centuries of wars, fires, and dominations, until it was once again destroyed in the Second World War. Today, after careful restoration, the castle has come back to life: it hosts exhibitions, events, and multimedia tours that allow visitors to discover the history of Svetvinčenat and one of the most fascinating Istrian fortresses.

Dvigrad was once one of the most important trading centres in northern Istria. All that remains of the town, which flourished in the Middle Ages, are walls covered in ivy. Dvigrad was first mentioned in the 9th century AD. The boom ended abruptly when Dvigrad was affected by wars and disease over the centuries. When malaria broke out in the 17th century, only about 10 percent of the approximately 700 inhabitants survived the epidemic and left the town. All that remains of the town are about 200 ruined houses and the ruins of the Basilica of St. Sophia.
