A small Church of Our Lady of Health is one of the oldest in Rovinj and beyond. The façade takes us back to the middle of the 18th century; it is made of baroque-style elements and decorated in pastel colors.
St. Euphemia Church is worth visiting because it is on top of the hill and because of the excellent view from the lookout point on the bell tower. There we expect to see what's kept in the marble sarcophagus, and we will know a legend about her.
Grisia Street is worth visiting because it is proclaimed as an "artist street", where we expect to see fine arts events that are held each year that exhibit artists from all over Croatia and Europe.
The Batana Museum is almost fully dedicated to the history of the Batana, an ancient fishing boat. It is under UNESCO protection, and moreover, it is still sheltered in many ports along the Istrian coast. (Visit from outside)
Balbi Arch is worth visiting because it stands on the site of the old town gate, where we expect to see that one side of the Balbi Arch has the carved head of a Turk while the other has the carved head of a Venetian.
The Califfi family palace is a beautiful mansion founded in 17th century, moreover it is a main City Museum. (Visit from outside)
A narrow street leading straight to the sea beach through the buildings of the city. Probably the most Instagrammed street in Rovinj.

We got to know about the cultural and historical "layers" that form a part of the "fabric" of the Rovinj city, thanks to an awesome tour guide. We had brief rests, took photographs, during the uphill walk. The surrounding archipelago view is amazing. Memorable walking tour.
We learnt about Rovinj's fishing heritage and its Venetian influences especially in the local architecture. Our guide highlighted local traditions and also pointed out where the best local products could be found.
