Euphrasian Basilica

The Church of St. Euphemia (also known as Sveta Fuma) is the most famous monument of Rovinj. The current Venetian baroque building was built between 1725 and 1736, on the site of an old medieval church.

The minority monastery of Piran has existed since the 14th century when the first church was built on top of the hill in 1301. From 1954 to 1990, the complex was nationalized. The church took over the monastery in 1996, after the denationalization. The cloister is preceded by a half-arched portal decorated with richly carved columns, bearing an architrave with an inscription and coat of arms.

The church of St. Jurija was built in the Venetian Renaissance style between 1595 and 1637. The existence of the first Christian church from the 6th to the 7th century is known from archaeological research. Subsequently, historical sources confirm the existence of a parish in the 10th century, as evidenced by fragments of an old church in a lapidary dating from the 10th to the 12th century. The former Aquilian-style church basilica was replaced by a Gothic church with three naves, consecrated in 1344.
