The Pearl of the Adriatic Sea: Rovinj:

A Travel Guide for the Croatian City of Rovinj

by Luka Riva

 

Rovinj (pronounced ro-VEEN) is a city on the western coast of the Istrian peninsula of Croatia. It is located on the north Adriatic Sea. This Venetian old town or in Croatian known as a “Stari Grad” is on a headland consisting of old houses and cobblestone streets leading to the church of St. Euphemia or Sveta Eufemija, at the top of the hill. Surrounding the old city of Rovinj is the breathtaking Cerulean Adriatic waters with many shades of blue. The harbor of Rovinj is surrounded by fishing boats, ferries, charter ships, and occasionally large yachts. In the summer months, these boats are constantly out on the water with tourists or with the locals, going out for a ride. Due to being so close to Italy, Rovinj to this day is a bilingual city, Croatian and Italian. Today, the locals continue to speak their distinct Croatian dialect with the Italian influence at home, keeping up with the old traditions. Rovinj was built during the Venetian Empire and later was taken over by the Austrians, Yugoslavians and today is part of the Republic of Croatia.
