From the parking lot
This beautiful house can be seen from the parking lot, when arriving in Rovinj. The red of its walls appear between the green of the trees and make an aesthetic composition that caught the eye of the photographer !

I was able to get a reservation at Vila Lili, Hotel Valdaliso or the Park. Since I've never been to Rovinj, I don't know much about any of these, except I don't like big, huge modern places. Do you know anything about these places?

Not surprisingly, given the beautiful location, Rovinj has attracted large numbers of artists who have settled and now work here. I've already mentioned Grisia ( the artists street and festival), plus the new gallery on the premises of the tobacco factory but I was absolutely amazed at the large permanent collection of modern art in the local museum. The gallery is on the first floor of the museum and mainly features work by the Rovinian Circle. This group was founded by Bruno Mascarelli and six others and is now an established and respected group within Croatian art circles. Most of the paintings shown here are abstract but there are also some representational land and townscapes. The gallery itself is pristine, with gleaming wood floors and white walls. There's lots of sculpture on display as well as paintings, with some monumental pieces strikingly positioned in the centre of the gallery floor. The paintings are mostly big, colourful and thought provoking and despite the comparatively small space available are really displayed to advantage.
In addition to the work of the painters living or working in Rovinj, during the winter months the gallery also displays a selection from the contemporary Croatian art collection. The photographs show the gallery and some of the works on display.
Still in Vladimira Svalbo street, this stone on the front of a house reads that the house was built in 1663 :
''QUESTO OPERA FU FATTA SOTO LA ADMINISTRACIO DEL SIG MATTIO MATICHA EROS POGIO AGOSTINE MONO MISTRI LORENZO FEGLI ET BORTOLO TERMINI.''
Down to the sea by the southern side of the peninsula of Rovinj. Between the previous picture and this one, we have visited Sveti Euphemia cathedral (look under ''must see'').
A watch dog sits in the middle of the street and watch at any passerby. That is its job !
This picture is a close up from the campanile on the roofs, northwards, with the sea behind. There are so many things to look at that one could stay for hours on top of the campanile, watching at the life of the city and of the sea.
