Abstract

Svetvinčenat (Savičenta) is one of the settlements in central Istria which, as the seat of a large feudal estate situated in the immediate vicinity of the Venetian-Habsburg border, was surrounded by specific conditions during its development. The paper analyses the urban development of the settlement of Svetvinčenat in the broader historical context of the development of central Istria as a Venetian borderland with Habsburg Monarchy, and as the seat of the feudal estate of the Morosini/Grimani noble family. Based on written and cartographic sources, we bring new insights into the appearance and development of the settlement, the factors of its territorial development, as well as historical and geographical conditions of its development. We follow the genesis and territorial development of the settlement from the late Middle Ages to the end of the 19th century.
