Old Town Review

A beautiful destination, with great bars, restaurants and a very relaxed vibe. the views at aunset are anazing.

Street shooting in Zagreb, Croatia. Travel with a group in June 2019. When I arrived in Zagreb, the Croatian capital, the weather was sunny that day. It was still the sky under blue sky and white clouds. People in the city were busy with their own lives. It can be seen that the large number of tourists have not been surprised! It is estimated that they have been strange to tourists, but tourists with different skin colors... leisurely and slow life...

This town is still amazing, a former Italian town far away from Venice. Until World War II, it was under Italian jurisdiction. After the defeat of World War II, it belonged to Yugoslavia, and then Croatia became independent. But the official languages here are Croatia and Italy. The architectural culture here is also more Italian. Rovigny's town centre, on a peninsula to the west, should be the best sunset viewing spot. It's a pity that when sunset comes, the clouds get thicker and the sunset is not visible. The Church of St. Euphemia on the top of the hill is known as Rovini's star attraction. The Baroque building built in 1736 witnesses Rovini's prosperity and glory. The church has a bell tower 60 meters high, which is modelled on the bell tower of St. Mark's Church in Venice. The cafes and bars on the cliffs of the old city are crowded with rainbow-like Italian houses behind them and the azure Adriatic Sea in front of them. It's also a wonderful experience to sit here and have a leisurely drink. There are innumerable paths in the ancient city. There are totally different worries about losing their way. There is only one end point to go up. The Euphemia Church basically converges on the square downwards. In fact, there were seven gates and walls around them in ancient times. But with the passage of time, there are only three gates left, and the most famous one is the Balbi gate, out of which is a big square.

The ancient city itself does not feel amazing. I think it's similar to the old cities I visited in Spain before. So I recommend you to come here, because there are no tourists in the dark, and very few Asian faces. After visiting the church under the Bell Tower, it took 20 Kuna to climb the tower. One by one, the wooden steps are narrow and steep, and the gap is very large.

Standing on the shore under the bright blue sky and white clouds, looking at the magnificent ancient city of Rovigny and the towering bell tower, I heard the "clang clang" sound of the old clock at the same time, breathing the wet and fishy taste of the sea which I had not seen for a long time, and felt that forty hours'running was worthwhile.
