Muntić, Hill settlement in southeastern Istria, Croatia.

Located at an elevation of 154 meters, Monticchio Polesano stands on heights that provide views over the territory of southeastern Pula.

The settlement became a feudal possession of the Pula diocese in 1028, later experiencing population changes due to wars and epidemics until the 16th century.

The Saint Jerome parish church, constructed in the 12th century, displays a combination of Romanesque architecture with Gothic elements throughout its structure.

The settlement maintains agricultural activities, with residents focusing on wine production and olive cultivation while offering farmhouse accommodations for visitors.

Archaeological findings near the settlement reveal traces of an ancient Roman settlement called Sors Rumeianum dating from the first century BC.
