you are here: > Groznjan
Groznjan is a small town in the central part of Istria, 8 km southeast of Buje; situated on the northern offset of the plateau above the Mirna valley; elevation 260 m; population 193. Tourism has been developed in an organized way since 1965, when Groznjan was turned into an art colony. Deserted houses were converted into studios and art galleries.
Today Groznjan is the meeting point of young musicians from all over the world because the International Cultural Centre of Young Musicians has its seat here. Every year Groznjan organizes music courses (violin, cello, viola, piano, organ, etc.), orchestra courses, ballet courses, recital, directing, video and audio recording courses, seminars for architects, panel discussions about environmental protection and yoga courses.
The area offers good opportunities for walking, cycling, hunting and spelaeology. A restaurant in Groznjan offers Istrian specialities. During summer months concerts and music events are held almost every day. At the end of summer, the international art ex tempore is held.
Get to Croatia by flying to Venice. Venezia Lines departs daily from Venice to all major resorts in Istria and to Lussino. Venezia Lines also operates out of Rimini and Ravenna. Day trip tickets available to Venice, to make your Istrian holiday even more memorable.
