Rovinj

One of Croatia’s most beautiful cities, Rovinj sits picturesquely upon a rock promontory, on the western side of the Istrian Peninsula.

On the edge of the main-square and of the harbor, the houses of the old parts of the city - intersected by the winding, cobble-stoned narrow streets and alley-ways – form a semi-circle around the hill on which Saint Euphemia's basilica is located. This church is the city’s most famous tourist attraction.

Built in the Baroque style in the 17^th century, its bell-tower, from which one can see the entire city, was modeled on that of St. Mark’s Basilica in Venice. The coffin of the city’s patron saint, St. Euphemy, who died a martyr, lies in the sanctuary of the church.

The city’s Baroque style Town Hall dates from the 17^th century. Next to its monuments, the city’s most fascinating tourist attraction is the Rovinj Aquarium, which introduces the viewer to the colorful life-forms in the sea; it is considered to be the city’s oldest museum.

The beaches at Rovinj and its neighborhood are mostly rocky and covered with shingles.
