The best reason to visit the ancient city walls of Motovun (in general) is to have great views of the surrounding forests. The best reasons to visit right now are that parking is free (right near the church and cemetery), entrance to the walls is free, and essentially no one is there.

Perfect to visit right now because basically no one's there, and everything's free (well, parking and entering the walled city). It is quaint, cute, historical, and it offers great views of the surrounding area. You can park near the church and then walk up half a kilometer or so. What's open right now are a few restaurants and shops, and the turnstiles are "set aside" (i.e., open) to enter the courtyard area at the very top.
