  Balbi Arch, Rovinj: The Old Town Gate Worth a Stop

  Balbi Arch is the baroque gateway that marks the entrance to Rovinj's old town, dated 1679 and carved with the Venetian Lion of St Mark and the Balbi family escutcheon. It is a street landmark rather than a museum, so ten minutes of looking and a walk through into Grisia and the climb to St Euphemia is the natural way to see it.

  Carera Street, Rovinj: A Pedestrian Lane in the Old Town
