ROVINJ, CROATIA
ROVINJ: ADRIATIC SEA FISHING PORT
Rovinj, Croatia, rising from the Adriatic Sea, is defined by the towering silhouette of the hilltop Church of Saint Euphemia. Grand exterior stone steps lead up to the historic sanctuary, where a rustic wooden staircase climbs high into the belly of the bell tower. Below the church grounds, the bustling Port of Rovinj meets the open water, framing the old town against the sea. The historic stone entryway of Balbi's Arch opens up into a maze of narrow cobblestone alleys. Along these paths are colorful house facades, open window shutters, blooming planter boxes, and lines of fresh laundry drying high above the stone pavement.
