Rovinj Croatia

Rovinj is a beautiful and picturesque small town situated on the western coast of the Istria peninsula. Because of its mild climate, sunny days, warm sea, attractive scenery as well as its historical monuments and old town, it is popular destination throughout the whole year. The islands of Rovinj archipelago, make for a pleasant afternoon away; the most popular islands are Sveta Katarina and Crveni Otok (Red Island), also known as Sveti Andrija. The Old Town is lovely with beautiful cobble-stone paths and Mediterranean-style old houses adorn the streets. Grisia is the lifeblood of the town, the main street of the old core, a street with a vast array of art galleries and a place no visitor of Rovinj should miss. This winding street of irregular shape rises up to the cathedral. The street is paved with the same white Istrian stone that was used to build many prestigious palaces and churches in Venice. The cathedral of St Euphemia dominates the skyline of Rovinj. The church originated in early Christian times. It was rebuilt in 1736 with its facade added in the middle of the 20th century in Venetian-baroque style. At the top of the 60 m. high bell tower, there is a copper statue of St. Euphemia, the patron saint of the town, that turns as the wind changes. Zavicajni muzej, the Local Museum, has an archaeological and an ethnographic collection, a gallery of paintings made by old and contemporary masters, a library and an archive. The museum is housed in the 17th century Baroque palace which once belonged to Califfi counts. Besides being museum the palace serves also as an important exhibition space. Red roofs, yellow walls, blue sea and a constant flow of boats, cosy up together in picturesque perfection. To state the obvious, Rovinj is very beautiful, probably one of the most beautiful places in Europe.
