The close-up photograph shows the characteristic houses of Rovinj's historic center rising directly from the waters of the Adriatic Sea. The facades, marked by time and salt, present a color palette ranging from ochre yellow to antique pink, from stone gray to brick red. Laundry hanging at windows and wooden shutters testify to the daily life of this village that maintains an authentic soul despite tourism. The foundations of the houses rest directly on the rock, without the mediation of quays or piers, creating an effect of continuity between architecture and sea typical of Venetian coastal villages.
