Welcome
to the world of history
When you go up to the Old Town
that is squeezed on a narrow peninsula, when you walk through its steep meandering lanes,
cobbled squares and campiellis, you enter the centuries past by. 
To stop in front of the baroque town hall (17th
century), enter the church of St.Euphemia (18th century), take a look of the Chapel of
Holy Trinity (13th century), breathe in the peculiar air of the old manuscripts in the
Franciscan monastery (18th century), wander through the Town Museum, stop and listen when
the Clock strikes the magical Rovinj hours... You have just started a trip
through a seventeen centuries old town.
