The Church of the Annunciation of Mary (Navještenja Marijina) stands on the eastern side of the square. Dating back to the 16th century, it has a trefoil Renaissance façade constructed from local stone. The interior of the church contains five marble altars and as many altarpieces attributed to the Venetian school of painting. On the main altar, whose construction was financed by the Grimani family, is a painting of the Annunciation by Giuseppe Porta-Salvati. The same altar is adorned with an image of the Madonna with angels, Saint Sebastian, and Saint Roch, by Palma the Younger. The church preserves the relics of Saint Victoria, which were brought to Svetvinčenat from Rome in the 17th century.

The Morosini-Grimani Castle is the symbol of Svetvinčenat (Sanvincenti) and one of the best-preserved Renaissance fortresses in Istria. Its origins date back to the 13th century, when the De Castro Pola family built their first fortified residence there. Passed to the Morosini family in the 15th century, it was transformed into a true fortress and, after a devastating fire in 1586, rebuilt in Renaissance style by the Grimani family with the help of Venetian architects. The quadrangular structure with three towers and an elegant noble palace combined defensive, administrative, and economic functions: grain storage, armory, and the captain's residence. Topped by the Grimani coat of arms, which later became the emblem of the city, the castle endured centuries of wars, fires, and dominations, until it was once again destroyed in the Second World War. Today, after careful restoration, the castle has come back to life: it hosts exhibitions, events, and multimedia tours that allow visitors to discover the history of Svetvinčenat and one of the most fascinating Istrian fortresses.
