About the destination
A walk through Labinci
Labinci is part of Kaštelir-Labinci in inland Istria. The village makes a useful starting point for a day combining local art, railway history and an olive-oil visit.
Saint George on the chapel wall
The Holy Trinity Chapel preserves medieval wall paintings. Look for Saint George fighting the dragon in Roman armour and the green borders around the scenes. Arrange access ahead of time if seeing the frescoes is the main reason for your visit.
Along the old railway
Labinci appears as Santa Domenica among the former stations on the Parenzana map. The map helps place the village within the railway’s wider story and plan a walk or ride along a suitable section.
Meet an olive-oil producer
Several olive-oil producers have addresses in Labinci. Choose one for a visit and ask about a tasting when you book. It is an opportunity to hear about the oil from the people who make it.
