This unique part of Istria has a number of attractions -
beautiful landscapes, remains of the cultural heritage from all
ages (tower Citadel), exquisite specialities of Istrian cuisine:
"manestra", sausages with cabbage, venison with gnocchi,
"fuzi" (kind of pasta), "supa" (crisp bread in red
wine, terrano, with olive-oil and pepper) and the famous wines,

Zminj is the traditional host of one of the most popular folk
festivities in Istria, the so-called Bartulja (end of August),
dedicated to St. Bartholomew, patron of Zminj (in the church of
St. Bartholomew). Other traditional events are the Chakavian
Assembly, a contest of young poets and reciters of poetry in the
Chakavian dialect (in June) and the Harmonica Wedding, a
competition in harmonica-playing (in July). Zminj is also known
for its agricultural fair which takes place every second
Wednesday in the month. |
