St Euphemia’s Basilica

St Euphemia’s Basilica crowns Rovinj’s old town and is the city’s most recognizable landmark. This Baroque church is dedicated to St Euphemia, whose sarcophagus is kept inside, making it both a religious site and a place of local legend. Many visitors come for the bell tower, inspired by St Mark’s Campanile in Venice, and for the broad views over Rovinj, the Adriatic, and nearby islands. If you enjoy historic architecture, quiet interiors, and worthwhile viewpoints, it is one of Rovinj’s most rewarding stops.
