Church of St. Euphemia

The Church of St. Euphemia is without a doubt one of Rovinj’s crown jewels. Its Baroque architecture is both graceful and imposing, with a façade that proudly echoes Venetian artistry and an interior rich with detail and history. Every stone seems to carry a piece of the town’s story. Perched on a hilltop right by the sea, the setting is just as impressive as the church itself. From here, you can take in sweeping views of the Adriatic and the picturesque old town below. A visit is highly worthwhile — serene, inspiring, and a memory you’ll carry long after you leave.

The Church of St. Euphemia is truly one of the highlights of Rovinj. The architecture is magnificent — elegant Baroque design, beautiful details inside, and a facade that reflects timeless Venetian influence. Every corner of the church tells a story. It’s wonderfully located right by the sea, and the views are simply breathtaking. From the hilltop, you get a charming panorama of the Adriatic and the old town below. One of the best parts is climbing the bell tower. The stairs are a bit steep, but totally worth it for the incredible 360° view at the top! Also, the staff and volunteers at the church were extremely kind and helpful. They answered every question with a smile and made the visit even more enjoyable. Highly recommended — peaceful, inspiring, and unforgettable.

The most iconic landmark in Rovinj, the Church of Saint Euphemia, the patron saint of the city who is buried in the church. The church, high on a hill overlooking the old town, was completed in 1736 and was designed in the Venetian Baroque-style. The Bell Tower closely resembles Saint Marks in Venice. There is a statue of St. Euphemia at the top. Just below the church, there is a café overlooking the sea.

The church is nice but nothing special. The tower visit is worthwhile experience. Going up the stairs is an adventure which keeps the old structure untouched. The panoramic views from the top of the tower are breathtaking.

The Church of St. Euphemia is Rovinj’s most iconic landmark and absolutely worth a visit! The climb through the charming Old Town is rewarded with stunning views from the top, overlooking the sea and nearby islands. Inside, the church is peaceful and beautifully preserved, with rich history and impressive architecture. A must-see for anyone visiting Rovinj!

A very large church, elaborate interiors more reminiscent of Cathedral type spaces. Colorful and detailed in a way that draws the eye in many different directions. I took time to explore the interior before paying a small extra charge to climb to 60 metre tower. Soon rediscovered my fear of heights as I made my way up the narrow steps, every one of which you can see through to the flight below. The climb is worth it for the views from the top in all directions. Expect it to be busy, and to have to wait in turn for your perfect photo opportunity. Also be prepared to wait on the steps as others pass up and down.

The thing that stands out on Rovinj panorama is this Church with its tall bell tower. It's perched on top of the hill of Rovinj old town peninsula. A maze of old stone streets leads up to it with many interesting craft and art shops. Beware, these stones are pretty slippery even totally dry. Once up you're greeted with an elegant 18c Baroque Church with a white marble facade. During our visit there was a wedding which added to the atmosphere. Great views of Rovinj and Adriatic from up

No reduced fee for kids over 5 years....but the staers are horrible even for an adult.... If I will do it again....they should pay me to go upstairs...but the view is one of the best I have ever seen
