The small village of Cerovlje consists of several smaller hamlets, located along the northern border of the Istrian peninsula.Walking through this area you will easily find the ruins of countless cities and castles that have been built and destroyed over the centuries. Namely, the settlement existed as early as the 13th century, when this area was ruled by the Aquileian patriarchs. It was first mentioned by its name, as Cerovlje, in 1325 in the Istrian divorce.After the settlement of the Roman Empire and the takeover of most of Istria, the development of churches and stronger defenses led to the destruction of smaller villages in the area. .Of course, there are plenty of natural beauties and sights in all directions, so here you can taste getting to know the place by walking. As home to some of the finest wines in the Mediterranean, Cerovlje is covered with native vineyards.

The ruins were so captivating to look at and looked good in pictures, the waterfall was very calming and the waters were clean, and since the place is a native vineyard i had to taste their wines, they were so sweet i had to carry some. I enjoyed coming here

Cerovlje is a place of interest with a rich history to learn about and even listen to interesting narratives about the roots of its existence. We got a chance to taste the delicious Mediterranean wines produced in the vineyards. We also carried some back home.

This town has been in existence since the 13th century. The churches were really magnificent. They were well decorated. I had the opportunity to explore its beauty and admire the buildings and surrounding of this town

This is a monumental town. It houses major castles within Istria. I really loved visiting the castles. I admired their cultural artefacts and historical collection that they had put on display. It was an educative journey
