Rovinj, Croatia: the colorful pearl of the Adriatic Sea

Rovinj is located on the west coast of the Istrian Peninsula in northwestern Croatia, is a blend of Italian flavor and Croatian characteristics of the old seaside city. Its old town is located on the oval peninsula, marked by the bell tower of the Church of St. Euphemia, a cluster of red-tiled roofs staggered along the hillside extending to the blue Adriatic Sea.

History and architectural features

Historically ruled by the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire and the Venetian Republic, the old town of Rovinj retains its medieval stone streets, Baroque buildings and Venetian-style arcades. The remains of the city walls, the Balbi Arch and the seven ancient churches bear witness to the traces of multiculturalism, and it is known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic".

Natural and tourist highlights

Surrounded by 13 islands, the Rovinj archipelago is a popular destination for diving and sailing. The region is famous for its excellent olive oil, truffles and seafood cuisine, and the Rovinj Film Festival, held every summer, attracts tourists from all over the world. Sunset cruises from the old town harbor offer panoramic views of the city and the magnificent coastline.

Overview of Sao Tome and Principe (note on "Java")

São Tomé and Príncipe is an island country in west-central Africa, consisting of the islands of São Tomé and Príncipe and the surrounding islets, with the capital, São Tomé, located in the northeastern part of São Tomé. Located on the Gulf of Guinea, about 200 kilometers from the African continent, the country was colonized by Portugal in the 15th century and became independent in 1975, with Portuguese as the official language and an economy based on agriculture (cocoa, palm oil) and tourism. It should be noted that "Java" is not a city or region of the country; Java is the main island of Indonesia, with cities such as Jakarta and Surabaya, and has nothing to do with São Tomé and Príncipe, possibly due to a confusion of names.
