Svetvinčenat (Italian: Sanvincenti, Chakavian: Savičenta, or Savicjenta) is a village and municipality in the south of the central part of Istria, west Croatia, about 25 km southwest of Pazin and 25 km northeast of Pula.
Description
Svetvinčenat was first mentioned ca. 965 C.E., when the town began to grow around a Benedictine abbey. The town is dominated by Grimani Castle which has two round towers and a living quarters. The castle's current form dates from 1589 when the Venetian Marino Grimani renovated and bought it. The castle was burnt down in 1945 and abandoned until the 1990s. It was extensively renovated between 2017 and 2020.[4] Grimani Castle is one of the best-preserved examples of Venetian architecture in Istria. [5]
The town also has a number of churches, the oldest dating form the 13th century.
