Rovinj Old Town
Rovinj / Rovigno
Venetian-style colorful houses stacked on a peninsula, with stone alleys and harbor views. Watching the sunset from the harbor is a classic scene.
Rovinj's old town was once an island. It was connected to the mainland in 1763 through land reclamation. For centuries it was under Venetian rule, and Croatian and Italian are still both spoken today. Colorful houses climb the peninsula to the hilltop church, and winding stone-paved alleys are lined with galleries, handicraft shops and seafood restaurants. The bars perched on the rocks on the west side are popular spots for watching the sunset. The old town is open all day. Motor vehicles are banned, so park in the car park outside the old town and walk in.
