- Rovinj is most dramatic from the sea …
-
- … as its tightly-packed houses cascade right down to the waterfront
-
- Welcome to Rovinj…
-
- … One of Istria’s most picturesque towns.
-
- With its tall, characterful houses and…
-
- …tight narrow streets…
-
- … Rovinj is packed full of character and old-world charm.
-
- Rovinj’s Romanesque cathedral dominates the town
-
- Up close it’s imposing , but rather plain outside.
-
- Inside is far grander with…
-
- … some amazing trompe d’oeil
-
- You need a strong nerve to climb up the rickety old wooden campanile staircase …
-
- … but the rewards are impressive views
-
- Why is it that old roof tiles are so much prettier than new ones?
-
- It can get quite windy, as this tree testifies.
-
- You soon begin to notice the cobbled streets are rough, and go up and down a lot …
-
- … so only the most (fool)hardy get around by bike
-
- What building materials shall we use? Anything that comes to hand …
-
- I wonder who the shutters are waving at …
-
- … possibly this pair, which are clearly not high on the maintenance list
-
- It’s always wash day in Rovinj
-
- I think someone cheated and painted these chillis different colours
-
- No wonder power cuts are a way of life
-
- “Get in line and stand to attention!”
