Once upon a time, there were white-cloaked knights roaming the valley of Mirna river in central Istria. They made a monastery and a church, had vineyards and olive groves. With small ships, they transported the goods through the Lim channel to the open sea and traded it for funds used to finance the war in the Holy Land and to sustain these homesteads all over the Europe. Yes, Vižinada, a small town in the centre of Istria, was also the headquarter of Knights Templar. Marino
