Sveti Ivan od Šterne je selo nedaleko od Svetog Lovreča u Istri u čijoj je blizini nekadašnji reprezentativni dvorac obitelji Polesini. Prvi dio imena je dobilo po župnoj crkvi dok drugi dio dobilo po izvoru vode iz kojeg je, u prošlosti, voda odvedena u cisternu. Naselje spada pod Općinu Višnjan, te je po popisu stanovništva od 2011. godine imalo samo 17. stanovnika. 1102. Godine Sveti Ivan od Šterne se prvi put spominje u darovnici markgrofa Urlicha II u kojoj selo Cisternu daruje akvilejskoj crkvi.Među ostalim vlasnicima Svetog Ivana od Šterne spominje se još i mletačka obitelj Apollonio. Plemićka obitelj Polesini na brežuljku u blizini naselja, gdje je nekad bio smješten stariji kaštel, gradi dvorac s parkom i okolnim zgradama u paladijanskom stilu. Čini se da je dvorac sagrađen prema nacrtima koje je izradio sam Andrea Palladio, slavni renesansni arhitekt.

It is at the place that we witnessed the beautiful unique architectural designs by the famous renaissance architect. As a historian, my vtour was an educative one as i learnt about Venetian Apollonio and also the Polesini noble families that were common back in the days and have remained relevant up to date. My kids loved playing in the park near the castle that was spacious.

The castle on the hill was the main attraction at this place. We visited this marvelous castle which was neatly kept with a well-mowed garden. We sat on the benches here and enjoyed the view of the town below. The air was fresh and the atmosphere cool. We enjoyed our stay.

For a history enthusiast this is the destination to visit, the location makes one experience the past in the present times. The inhabitants are small in number but are friendly and welcoming. It is a great place to visit to learn something about history, in my opinion, and it is a wonderful place for any person wanting to enrich their historical knowledge.
