Novigrad: Porporela marina
Novigrad spreads across a small peninsula on Istria’s western Adriatic coast, and its sheltered waterfront has shaped the town’s maritime character. Known in Italian as Cittanova, it developed from an ancient settlement into a fortified coastal town and was part of the Venetian Republic for centuries. Sections of the medieval town walls still trace the old centre, where narrow streets lead to the Parish Church of St Pelagius and St Maximus and its distinctive bell tower. The harbour remains central to everyday life, with fishing boats, pleasure craft and waterfront promenades linking the historic core to the wider Istrian coast.

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.

The Adriatic coastline and limestone interior define much of Istria County – together they support tourism, vineyards, olive groves and smaller farms. Croatia’s westernmost county occupies most of the Istrian peninsula, where the Mirna River runs through northern valleys towards the sea. Pula’s Roman amphitheatre is among its best-known historic landmarks, while Poreč’s Euphrasian Basilica is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Rovinj and other old coastal ports recall centuries of Adriatic trade; inland, hill towns and regional food traditions create a markedly different rhythm.

Croatia occupies a long Adriatic coastline in southeastern Europe. Its shore is broken into islands and sheltered coves, while the Dinaric Alps rise inland and the Danube forms part of its eastern border. Dubrovnik’s fortified old city faces the sea, and Split grew around Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman complex begun in the early fourth century. Inland, Plitvice Lakes National Park is known for terraced lakes linked by waterfalls and has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1979. Istrian olive groves, Zagreb and Slavonia’s vineyards reveal distinct regional identities.
