It is a beautiful town with a turbulent past with an especially beautiful old town core located on the peninsula. Speaking of the richness of the culturally-historical monuments of Rovinj is the fact that it was proclaimed a monument of culture in 1963.
The church of St. Eufeija is the most striking building which dominates the whole old town core. It was built at the beginning of the 18th century and in the middle of the last century and the new front was constructed in the Baroque-Venetian style. The bell tower of St. Eufemija is 60 m high and decorated with a copper statue of the saint, which is pushed around by the power of the winds.
There are 22 islets in the Rovinj archipelago, from which St. Andrija and St. Katarina are the largest and the most beautiful.
