Rovinj is a charming coastal town on the west coast of Istria, where maritime romance and centuries-old history intertwine. Narrow cobbled streets of the old city, facades of medieval houses and a light Venetian trace in architecture create a cozy atmosphere for leisurely walks. Fisherman’s berths, bright sunsets over the Adriatic and attention to detail in the urban layout make Rovinj a unique place for those looking for a combination of culture and recreation.
Among the man-made attractions, the cathedral church of St. Euthymia with a high bell drum, which opens a panorama of the city and the sea, stands out.
