    Dvigrad is an abandoned ruined town in the municipality of Kanfanar in the Croatian part of the Istrian peninsula. The medieval town is located in the Draga Valley. It stands on the remains of a prehistoric settlement and has been abandoned since 1631. Dvigrad, also called Duecastelli, was an important trading center in the region in the Middle Ages due to its strategically favorable location. The site is considered an outstanding example of a symbiosis of sacred and secular buildings, a castle and an early urban settlement. Since the early Middle Ages, a fortress-like settlement with around 1,000 inhabitants has developed from what were originally two castles (lat. Duo Castra = Croatian Dvigrad). The settlement was never destroyed but was only abandoned at the end of the 17th century.
