Novigrad

Few cities in Istria County have a history as closely tied to their role as a medieval bishopric as Novigrad. Set on the Adriatic Sea, its compact old town occupies a peninsula once separated from the mainland and is still enclosed in part by defensive walls. The Church of St Pelagius and St Maximus, beside its distinctive freestanding bell tower, is a central landmark, while the Lapidarium Museum preserves an important collection of Istrian stone monuments. Venetian influences remain visible in the town’s architecture and narrow streets, and the harbour keeps Novigrad connected to Istria’s coastal life.
