KANFANAR, a small town in the central part of Istria, 20 km northeast of Rovinj, on the edge of the Lim Cove, on the open limestone plain of Istria. Chief occupations are farming and livestock breeding.

 

 

 

 
The town is particularly known for the nearby Dvigrad - an interesting archaeological site, and the famous local fair called Jakovljevo, organized in honour of the patron saint, St. James (in July). Part of the fair is also the exhibition of the indigenous Istrian cattle (boskarin), now threatened by extinction so that efforts are made to reintroduce and protect it. The surroundings is interesting for hiking and cycling.
