NOVIGRAD is a tourist resort on the west
coast of Istria. It is a town proud of its tradition, beauty and
historical and cultural heritage. No matter whether you are a long-staying
guest or just a traveller passing through, citizens of Novigrad will
receive you with open arms and give you a warm welcome, or, once your
holiday is over, say goodbye as good friends.
They will see to it that your stay in the town is well-organized and
that you are provided with the best and unforgettable service. Here, the
guest will find the clearest see in this part of the Mediterranean. The
tourist image of Novigrad is based on its advantages as regards sporting
and leisure activities. Sports grounds offer a possibility of achieving
good results both in terms of performance and in terms of relaxation and
good health. The facilities are available to all the guests, regardless
of their age, all day long and throughout the year, in any weather, and
both in the water and on the land. Every summer Novigrad is the venue of
the well-known inter-regional fish festival when only the best things
are offered at the street stands.
Novigrad was built on a small island that was connected to the mainland
in 18th century. It has maintained its medieval structure up to the
present day. The three-named parish church of St. Mary, St. Maximilian
and St. Pelagius has preserved its characteristics of the Romanesque and
fragments of early Christian basilica despite the prevailing baroque
influence (1745-1775). The church of St. Agatha in a 10th century
graveyard is an example of three-apse Romanesque sacral architecture,
and the Church of St. Anthony was built during the Gothic period and
renovated in 17th century. |
