Old Town

Een mooie bestemming, met grote bars, restaurants en een zeer ontspannen vibe. de uitzichten bij het begin zijn analytisch.

De straten van de Kroatische hoofdstad Zagreb. Reis met een groep in juni 2019. Het was helder toen het aankwam in Zagreb, de hoofdstad van Kroatië. Het was nog steeds de hemel onder de blauwe en witte hemel. De mensen in de stad zijn allemaal bezig met hun leven. Het is niet verrast dat veel toeristen er niet in zitten! Ik denk dat ze het niet verrast hebben voor toeristen, maar dat ze een andere huidkleur hebben... en langzaam leven.

This town is still amazing, a former Italian town far away from Venice. Until World War II, it was under Italian jurisdiction. After the defeat of World War II, it belonged to Yugoslavia, and then Croatia became independent. But the official languages here are Croatia and Italy. The architectural culture here is also more Italian. Rovigny's town centre, on a peninsula to the west, should be the best sunset viewing spot. It's a pity that when sunset comes, the clouds get thicker and the sunset is not visible. The Church of St. Euphemia on the top of the hill is known as Rovini's star attraction. The Baroque building built in 1736 witnesses Rovini's prosperity and glory. The church has a bell tower 60 meters high, which is modelled on the bell tower of St. Mark's Church in Venice. The cafes and bars on the cliffs of the old city are crowded with rainbow-like Italian houses behind them and the azure Adriatic Sea in front of them. It's also a wonderful experience to sit here and have a leisurely drink. There are innumerable paths in the ancient city. There are totally different worries about losing their way. There is only one end point to go up. The Euphemia Church basically converges on the square downwards. In fact, there were seven gates and walls around them in ancient times. But with the passage of time, there are only three gates left, and the most famous one is the Balbi gate, out of which is a big square.

The ancient city itself does not feel amazing. I think it's similar to the old cities I visited in Spain before. So I recommend you to come here, because there are no tourists in the dark, and very few Asian faces. After visiting the church under the Bell Tower, it took 20 Kuna to climb the tower. One by one, the wooden steps are narrow and steep, and the gap is very large.

Standing on the shore under the bright blue sky and white clouds, looking at the magnificent ancient city of Rovigny and the towering bell tower, I heard the "clang clang" sound of the old clock at the same time, breathing the wet and fishy taste of the sea which I had not seen for a long time, and felt that forty hours'running was worthwhile.
