Former livestock fair
Traces of a former livestock fair mark the place where a fair for livestock and other animals was located.
The monthly livestock fair always had many visitors. If you look at a map, Dutovlje is located in the very centre of Karst, between the Vipava Valley and the Gulf of Trieste, having a very attractive location.
At the livestock fair, young people socialized as well, using the place for various games and fun. As a child and a young man, the local Danilo Žerjal trained hard at this location as well, later becoming national champion in discus and hammer throw in three countries. He also participated in the Olympic Games.
