Why it is worth your time

Climb the lanes to the 17th-century fortress the Venetians built to guard the harbour. From the ramparts you get the finest 360-degree view over the red roofs, the Arena and the shipyard cranes. Inside, the Historical and Maritime Museum of Istria tells the city's seafaring story.

Croatia Atlas tip

Climb up at sunset for the best 360-degree view over the red roofs and the Arena.
