From Viking ships in Lim Bay to Halle Berry on the road beside Dvigrad: the Kanfanar area connects screen adventures with the quiet landscapes of Istria.
Open the City MapAbout This Destination
The screen history of the Kanfanar area runs from Lim Bay to Dvigrad. For The Long Ships (1964), starring Richard Widmark and Sidney Poitier, the bay became a northern seascape with a purpose-built Viking settlement. Erik il vichingo and Här kommer bärsärkarna, both released in 1965, also filmed beside Lim.
Decades later, the road near Dvigrad was used for The Union (2024). Halle Berry filmed here during the production’s Istrian shoot in 2022. The area connects historical adventure films with modern spy action.
