The area of today’s Novigrad in Istria, Croatia has been inhabited since ancient times. Numerous traces, monuments and archeological sites are witnesses of different eras. This settlement has been a town even in those days. There are documents that mention the town as Neaopolis in the seventh and Civitas Nova in the ninth century. Due to its location on a small peninsula and fertile fields in the hinterland it often found itself on the intersection of historic events.
Today Novigrad is a small fishing town with plenty of offers for visitors, rich cultural and historic heritage, pristine Istrian gastronomy, beautiful coastline, clear sea and outdoor activity possibilities. There are four more settlements  that belong to the town: Antenal, Buzinija, Dajla and Mareda.
