At the top of the hill, among the houses, you can see a church tower. This is Groznjan, the ancient Graeciniana. The terraced hill, covered with old vineyards and olive gardens, is actually a sandy elevation created from the erosion of two streams, the Kanistran and the Pision. The town #8217;s poetic coat of arms shows an arm holding a white lily and reaching towards the sun. From Groznjan you can enjoy a view of about 20 surrounding villages, fields on the Bolara and Kostanjica hillsides on the left, meadows of the Bijele zemlje (White Lands) and Baredina slopes on the right, the Mirna valley below, and the coastline from Novigrad to Umag. This is one of the most beautiful and most fertile areas in Istria. The land around Groznjan is partly mountainous and partly flat, very fertile, with many olive groves, vineyards and orchards. By the town gate there is St. Nicholas cemetery with many cypress trees, and about a kilometer to the northwest there is a gentle plateau of St. Vitus with and old, abandoned cemetery and a little church with mortuary. At the edges of the plateau there are Peroj and Rimska palaca (Roman Palace), where mosaic pieces, Roman coins, and remains of a rich settlement and a road have been found. The Groznjan area also includes St. Florian on the Karst, and it ends with the Mirna river in the south, where the Bastija harbour used to be. In 1500 boats still sailed up the Mirna to this harbour. In the west the Groznjan territory once included Nova Vas, a little town near Brtonigla. In 1371 the Nova Vas area, including the St. George castle on the Mirna, came under the rule of Venetian podesta situated in Groznjan. The town, once known as kastel (castle), was surrounded by thick walls, the remains of which are now a valuable historic heritage. It had two gates, and the one still existing, called the Great Gate, used to have a drawbridge. It is situated in a beautiful place where a road from Ponte Porton ends. From a magnificent lookout on the wall, where once the smaller gate used to be and where a Venetian column still stands, one can see far to the horizon. The houses are built tightly next to each other, in the typical medieval style. In the church of Sts. Vitus, Modest and Crescentia there is an altar, believed to have special powers, which was donated by pope Pius VII in 1800. It was handed through special edict to the priest Michele Dubaz during the pope #8217;s visit to Tarska vala (Tar Cove), where his frigate Bellona took refuge from a storm.
