Novigrad has served as an Adriatic port on Istria’s western coast since Roman times. Its compact old town occupies a former island, now joined to the mainland, where stone lanes lead towards the harbour and waterfront. The town faces the Adriatic Sea, while the mouth of the Mirna River lies a short way south along the coast. The parish church of St Pelagius is marked by its freestanding bell tower, and the Lapidarium Museum holds an important collection of early medieval stone monuments. Restaurants draw on Istrian olive oil, seafood and local produce. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Novigrad and Istria County.
