The town of Žminj with approximately 700 residents is located at the old intersection of roads in the centre of Istria, about 25 km removed from Rovinj, 35 km from Pula and 15 km from Pazin. Once a strong military fortress with four towers, it became an important commercial, transport and crafts centre. The remains of medieval walls are nowadays embedded into the walls of houses and fences that were subsequently built, but still visible is a small part of the castle, a part of the wall fortification and a single tower.
In the geographically small, but playful relief of Žminj, you can experience traditional agritourist farmhouses where you can taste local dishes and wines, while accommodation is provided in many houses and villas with pools.
