- Passing through the narrow streets of Rovinj, climb up to the Church of St Euphemia, whose bell tower dominates the old town core.
- Discover the opulent interior of the church that abounds with interesting sculptures and frescoes and visit the sarcophagus of St Euphemia located in the southern chapel.
- The viewpoint on the 62-metre-tall bell tower will provide you with a spectacular panoramic view - from the Brijuni Islands on the south, to the Alpine peaks in the northwest.
- If you take a closer look at the imposing statue of St Euphemia on the bell tower, you'll notice that it spins around its own axis in the direction of the wind and indicates the direction of the wind with its right hand.
- After touring the church, make sure to take a stroll through the famous streets located nearby - Carrera, Grisia and Bregovita ulica - and enjoy visiting charming galleries, town squares and souvenir shops.
