Rovinj is one of the most photographed cities in Croatia, perhaps because from the air, its location on a promontory makes it look like a fairy-tale village suspended on a pillow of bright blue sea. In fact, central Rovinj once was an islet, and it wasn't until the 18th century that the channel separating it from the mainland was filled in. Today, Rovinj's Old Town is a protected monument and one of Istria's most visited sites—and not only because of its beauty. Rovinj has preserved the best of its architectural and cultural legacy by allowing development but keeping industry on the mainland, where the Rovinj tobacco factory and cannery still play major roles in the town's economy. Central Rovinj, however, is a tangle of steep pedestrian streets that are paved with sea-salt-polished cobblestones and marked with signs in Italian and Croatian. These narrow, winding streets are lined with galleries, quaint shops, and excellent restaurants. Most lead to the town's highest point, where St. Euphemia Church and the tallest campanile in Istria dominate the skyline. Add to that Rovinj's strong Italian personality, which includes a thriving fishing fleet of small boats, a smattering of Venetian-style piazzas and houses, numerous restaurants and cafes with atmospheric rock walls and pounding waves, and you have a town that's both vibrant and historical.
