Overview

Oprtalj (in Italian: Portole) is a community in central northern part of Istrian County situated across the river Mirna valley of the much more reknown city of Motovun, about 20 km northwest of Pazin. The Italian name Portole is also in use. The community uses the historical coat of arms, possibly from 14th century, though its current status is unknown: Azure massoned walls argent issuant from the base with three closed doors proper and in chief a cross pattee. There is no flag reported.
