The Church of St. Euphemia, a landmark of the town
The Church of St. Euphemia, the pride of Rovinj, is a baroque building in Venetian style and the largest monument in the town, with valuable statues and altars. The copper statue at the top of the tower is 3.9 m high and was erected in 1758 to replace a wooden statue that had not withstood a lightning strike. The statue is built in such a way that it can turn in the direction of the wind.
