Monkodonja

Monkodonja, just outside Rovinj, is one of Istria’s most important prehistoric hillforts. Built in the Bronze Age, around 1800–1200 BCE, it preserves impressive stone walls, gates, and traces of a planned settlement, offering a clear sense of how early communities lived and organized space. The site is small, quiet, and easy to combine with a visit to Rovinj, making it a worthwhile stop for travelers interested in archaeology, ancient history, or lesser-known cultural sites.
