In search of a location near beautiful Poreč that would provide you with more comfort, privacy, and peace than the famous tourist town, Istrian roads will take you to Višnjan, a municipality with 46 settlements just half an hour from Poreč. The attitude of the people of Višnjan towards Poreč that defined its origin and the entire history, to such an extent that its very name springs from the meaning “nearby”. Mentioned as early as around 1.000 A.D., Višnjan originated as the closest property of the city of Poreč. The Venetians, Austrians, French, and Italians ruled Višnjan throughout history, building their estates, villas, and summer houses there. The times of these rulers are now a thing of the past, but the tradition of building picturesque estates in Višnjan, as well as luxury villas, has remained to this day. The rich history has left its mark in the cobbled streets, and colorful historical influences have mixed styles, ranging from baroque to neoclassicism. However, what Višnjan is best known for are neither the stone streets nor the beautiful monuments, but the Višnjan Observatory. Precisely here were the small bodies of the solar system discovered; it attracts many tourists and acts as an educational center. Apart from their observatory, the people of Višnjan are incredibly proud of the Istrian cattle Boškarin. The Association of Breeders has been operating in Višnjan for many years, working on protecting and rescuing this indigenous breed of cattle.
