The topic of this Bachelor thesis is the Historical Core of Rovinj. The city of Rovinj, along with its surrounding area, is extremely rich in cultural and historical heritage, both tangible and intangible. This thesis focuses primarily on the Historical Rovinj Core, which abounds in the majority of the cultural and historical sites. The sacral buildings located in the old town area are the ones most thoroughly presented, with other buildings of historical significance such as the City Palace or the Tobacco Factory edifice being dealt with as well. Given the fact that the tangible and intangible heritage of Rovinj are closely connected and inextricably intertwined, the thesis also presents the legend of St. Euphemia's sarcophagus, the Batana boat building process, and other elements of the intangible cultural and historical heritage. In addition, the thesis discusses the historical development of Rovinj and its core area as well as the creation of a new town image under the influence of tourism.
