everything for your holiday in Vrsar

The little town of Vrsar is an enchanting old fishing settlement on the western coast of Istria between Rovinj and Poreč, above the Lim Channel. This picturesque town is split into two parts – the historic old town filled with culture that has a colorful history lies on the top of the hill, while the more contemporary and lively other part of the town lies beneath, alongside the beaches and the marina.

The narrow, arched streets of the old town lead to the city gate, small squares, stone houses, Romanesque citadel, picturesque churches and three town belvederes. The panoramas of Vrsar coastline are truly amazing: the most indented coastline of Istria is adorned by one of the most beautiful Mediterranean archipelagos comprising 18 uninhabited islands surrounded by the crystal clear Adriatic Sea.

Vrsar can be proud of its colorful history dating back to the prehistoric period. For centuries it has been known for its springs of drinking water because of which it got its ancient name Ursaria (old Mediterranean word "ur" or "spring"), as well as the nearby town Funtana (fountain), also a destination of ancient seafarers seeking for rest and refreshments. The Italian poet and adventurer Giacomo Casanova spent the summers of 1743 and 1744 in the romantic Vrsar and refers to the town in his famous memoirs. Owing to the production of salt, Vrsar is marked on the maps of the old world, and it is possible to find the high-quality grey stone of its streets, used in the construction of Venice itself, throughout the Roman Empire.

Vrsar is known as the city of sculptors; this is the location of the famous Dušan Džamonja's sculpture park. You can find stone sculptures all over the town, and their number grows each year after regular visits of Montraker international sculpture colony.

The arable land of the area around the town is covered with wine grape and olive-groves and shells and other sea delicacies are farmed in the nearby protected nature park Lim Channel, which makes Vrsar favorite destination for gourmets and wine lovers. Tourism is an important link in Vrsar's economy and the town has been proclaimed as the best tourist destination on the Croatian Adriatic several times. Vrsar is a holiday destination for all those who love active vacation as well as for families. Today, just like in the old days, it is the favorite harbor for boaters with one of the best marinas in Croatia.

Something About . . . vrsars history

The area around Vrsar has been inhabited since prehistory, according to the remains of Paleolithic culture found in Romualdo's Cave above the Lim Channel, and the town is proud of its 2000-year old history.
The Illyrian tribes Histri, the first known people of this area, were involved in cattle-raising, agriculture and seafaring trade with the Greeks and Etruscans.
In the first century before the new era, the first building was erected, a rustic Roman villa, exactly on the place of today's old town, after that a small settlement by the coast started to develop.
In the ancient period, Vrsar was a famous harbor for the export of Istrian stone and salt afterwards. During the II and III centuries began the spreading of Christianity and in the IV century Vrsar became an important Christian center.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, Vrsar was ruled by the Goths and then the Byzantium that governed this area up to the VIII century. The Byzantine government was followed by a short Lombard rule, when it was conquered by Charles the Great in VIII century, and then it fell under the Franc rule. It is not known exactly when, but somewhere between IX and X centuries Vrsar fell under the Poreč Diocese administration (until 1778) and it became the administrative center of the Poreč Diocese and its bishops who ruled in the name of the Pope.
Although in 1267 it accepted the Venetian protectorate, the Diocese did not pay any tax to Venetian doges or the patriarchs from Aquilea, up until 1778 when Vrsar fell directly under the Venetian rule.

It is interesting to mention Casanova's stay in Vrsar during the summers of 1743 and 1744.
