Rovinj

Tucked along the Adriatic coast of western Istria, Rovinj is a place whose character is shaped by its former-island old town and enduring ties to the sea. Tall, closely packed houses lead up the peninsula to the Baroque Church of St. Euphemia, whose bell tower is the town’s defining vertical landmark. Rovinj belonged to the Venetian Republic for centuries, a legacy evident in Italianate façades and Istria’s Croatian-Italian cultural identity. South of the centre, Zlatni Rt Forest Park brings pine groves and coastal paths to the edge of town. The batana, a traditional flat-bottomed fishing boat, remains an emblem of local maritime life.
