Activity itinerary

Church of St. Euphemia

30m

The largest baroque church in Istria dominates Rovinj from its hilltop location in the middle of the old town. It's modelled on the campanile of St Mark’s in Venice and is topped by a 4m copper statue of St Euphemia, who shows the direction of the wind by turning on a spindle. The visit includes the church and climbing up the bell tower. It takes 45min drive from Pula to here. If we meet at Rovinj it takes a 7 min walk to reach the church.

Balbi's Arch

Where the Balbi’s Arch stands today, there used to be the main gate to the fortified city of Porton della Pescheria. The old gate was pulled down in 1678/79 and the Balbi's Arch was built in its place. The Arch is located in the heart of the city - port. Walk around Rovinj old town takes about 20-30 minutes
