The channel filled in, making way for the tall, narrow houses you're about to walk past. Walk at your own pace as you play through our audio-guide app, following the old shoreline through Balbi's Arch, past the winged lions the Venetians carved into nearly every wall, and out to a chapel where a children's hospital quietly began Rovinj's tourism story.
