The image portrays Rovinj from the northern perspective, with the coastal rocks in the foreground framing the view of the village. The houses of the historic center, in warm colors faded by sun and salt, cluster around the hill where St. Euphemia Church stands with its tall bell tower. The Adriatic Sea, with the transparent waters typical of the Istrian coast, laps the rocks creating a natural passage between land and water. This perspective highlights how Rovinj occupies the entire peninsula, surrounded by the sea on three sides. In the distance, the veiled sky anticipates a possible weather change.
