Rovinj is a town and port on the western coast of Istria, 36 km north of Pula. Its geographical location is very good: in the hinterland is the lowland part of southern Istria; in front of the coast are numerous islands and shallows abounding with fish.
Economy is based on farming, viniculture (malmsey), fishing, food-processing industry (fish cannery, production of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks), tobacco industry and tourism. The regional roads Rovinj - Rovinjsko Selo and Rovinj - Bale connect the town with the main road (M2, E751) Slovenian border - Buje - Pula.
The town core developed on a peninsula, which had been a coastal island under natural conditions, and was connected with the mainland in the 18th century by levelling and filling up.
In front of the coast are numerous islands, islets and rocks: Figarola (Figarola Vela, Big Figarola), Figarolica (Figarola Mala, Small Figarola), Sveta Katarina (St. Catherine), Banjole, a double island called Crveni Otok (Red Island - Sveti Andrija (St. Andrew) and Maskin), Samer, Sveti Ivan (St. John), Sveti Ivan na Pucini, Sturag, Pulari, Piruzi, Dvije Sestrice (Two Sisters), Montauro, Skolj Magaraca (Donkey's Shore) etc.
Rovinj - Beaches:
For the most part, you will come across a rhythmic interchange of rocky capes and gentle bays that are covered with round little stones which have the size of a walnut.
Thanks to the little stones, these bays are very suitable for children who can enjoy themselves for hours by constructing and moulding pools, by catching small crabs or by throwing stones into the water. There is no need to emphasize the comforts of walking on such a ground which is very healthy and facilitates a foot massage.
In these bays the access to the sea is easy and gently sloping, whereas for the younger ones who enjoy junping into the sea, there are a few beaches with higher rocks which fall directly deeper into the sea and thus make acrobatic stunts possible. These beaches can be found in the Škaraba Bay and at Cape Rusi.
In order to make swimming also enjoyable for those who don't like the stony coast, the town of Rovinj has in the past few years covered a number of beaches with fine gravel. These beaches can be found in the campsite Villas Rubin, in Kuvi Bay and in Lone Bay, and they are very well attended. There you can also find additional services like cafes and bars, showers, toilets, dressing rooms, etc. Very often, juice and cake sellers are walking along the beach: by reason of hygiene we recommend that you rather go to the nearest cafe or that you bring your own food with you.
The «Blue Flag» was given to the beach in Valalta in the year 2000 and to the beach in Villas Rubin in 2002.

Rovinj - History:
Rovinj was first mentioned in the 7th century, under the name Ruvignio (Ruigno). From the 6th century it belonged to the Exarchate of Ravenna and in AD 788 it became part of Franconia; for several centuries it was under different feudal lords, from 1209 under the rule of the Aquilean patriarch and from 1283 under Venice. Rovinj got its statutes in 1531. On the fall of the Venetian Republic in 1797 it came under Austria, in 1918 under Italy. In 1945 Rovinj was joined to the mother country, Croatia.
Rovinj - Cultural Heritage:
The town is dominated by the Baroque three-nave church of St. Euphemia (Fuma), erected in 1736 on the location of earlier sacral buildings; its front dates back to 1883. Next to the side door is the marble relief of St. Euphemia from the 14th century. The interior of the church houses the late antique sarcophagus of St. Euphemia from the 6th century (adapted in the 15th c.), Gothic plastics from the 15th century, paintings The Last Supper and Christ in the Gethsemane Garden from the 16th and 17th centuries.
The bell tower is 60 m high, built in the period 1654-1680 according to the sketches by Antonio Manopola, with the statue of St. Euphemia on the top.
Close to the harbour are the clock tower, the Baroque Balbi's Arch (1680) on the location of the town gate and the former Town Hall from the 17th century (today the Museum).
There are several Renaissance and Baroque palaces in the town. The town theatre building is at Valdibora Square. The eastern part of the town comprises the complex of the Franciscan monastery (with a valuable monastery library) with the church of St. Francis from 1810; and the southern part of the town features the oldest monument of Rovinj, the Romanesque heptagonal chapel of the Holy Trinity from the 13th century.
