Vrsar

Vrsar is a medieval town located on a hill near the delta of the Lim Bay. Before it started expanding outside its walls during the 19th century, the town included what is now known as the Old Town Vrsar. The remains of the walls and the old town gate still bear witness to the rich history in which several rulers alternated from the time of the Venetian Republic to the modern times and the development of tourism within Croatia. The narrow stone streets and small squares are full of buildings with elements of various styles. Apart from many monuments preserved in the Old Town, during the sightseeing of Vrsar one shouldn`t miss a  a whole slew of historical and cultural monuments located in the port and the hinterland, which also comprise the remains of ancient buildings from the period of the Roman Empire.
