Built on a rocky outcrop on the east coast of Istria, Rovinj was an island before being connected to the mainland in 1763. The city is an active fishing port. Accessible by boat from Trieste, it includes a large Italian community.
Access: Rovinj is easily identified from the sea by the belfry of Sv Eufemija church on the hill top, the chimney of the sardine cannery in the N harbour, the square white stone tower (white light) on Sv Eufemija point, and the islet of Sv Katarina S of the town. When approaching the south harbour the passage between Sv Katar- ina islet and the cylindrical buoy with a post (black and red, two cones on top their bases together) which marks the E edge of a shoal (E of the islet), must not be used. In "Lon" cove there is a submerged ship; its mast 1m above the surface of the sea. * Depth: 15 m * 380 pl. (25 m) * Tel.: 052/813-133 * Fax.: 052/842-366 * E-mail: m.rovinj @ aci-club.hr
