The Charm of Rovinj's Old Town

As I flew over the Adriatic Sea, my sensors registered a new place on Earth - Rovinj. When I landed, I was fascinated by its narrow streets and colorful buildings in the old town. The town was built on an island which is now connected to the mainland. Rovinj's history dates back to prehistoric times and it has been ruled by the Romans, the Venetians, and the Austro-Hungarians. The town's buildings showcase a blend of different architectural styles. I observed the local culture in action as the people were preparing for the annual St. Euphemia Feast, a patron saint of Rovinj. I compared Rovinj to other towns I have visited and found it to be unique in many ways.
