Rovinj has served as a fishing and maritime port on Istria’s Adriatic coast since the Middle Ages. Its compact old town rose on an island, separated from the mainland until the channel was filled in 1763, and steep lanes still lead up to the Baroque Church of St Euphemia. The church’s Venetian-style bell tower is Rovinj’s defining landmark. Fishing traditions, waterfront restaurants and Italian-influenced Istrian cuisine reflect long connections across the northern Adriatic, while the coast north of town approaches the Lim Bay inlet.
