Meet the City

Rovinj is a city in Croatia located on the north Adriatic Sea, on the western coast of the Istrian peninsula. It is a popular tourist resort and an active fishing port. It is interesting that the city is officially billingual: Italian and Croatian, hence both town names are equal and official: Rovinj and Rovigno. The city itself has very interesting history: it was a settlement of Venetian or Illyrian tribes, captured by Romans, incorporated into the Byzantine Empire, was part of the Austrian Empire, then belonged to the Kingdom of Italy, and finally part of Croatia.

Down the history path

Rovinj is a small town with a lot of sights. First take a walk through the Old Town. The historic centre is small, full of cobblestone streets. Take a cup of coffee in some of the cafes and enjoy the view. The most famous symbol of Rovinj is the City Palace, once the Praetorian Palace. It dates back to 1308 and it is recognizable for it´s red facade. Rovinj used to be surrounded with city walls and had even seven gates. On the former main gate now stands the Balbi´s Arch. Town Clock was built in the 17th century and you can find it on the main square. Back in the days, it represented the tower on the south corner of the town walls, with a prison below it for minor offenders.
