Novigrad is a small seaside town in the western part of Croatia's Istrian Peninsula, known as the "Pearl of the Adriatic", located in the county of Sistavlje, close to the Italian border. Founded in the Middle Ages, the old town is built on a rocky peninsula, surrounded by well-preserved medieval walls, with winding cobblestone streets and Gothic and Renaissance buildings, including the landmark church of St. Petar and the 14th-century bell tower. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, the town boasts crystal clear waters and secluded pebble beaches, such as "Lovers' Beach" and "Bella Vista Beach", popular for sailing, diving and other water sports. The gastronomic capital of the Istrian Peninsula is famous for its fresh seafood (e.g. cuttlefish risotto, grilled fish), traditional olive oil and local wines, and in the summer season its seaside restaurants and open-air cafes attract tourists from all over the world. With its perfect blend of historical heritage and natural beauty, Novigrad epitomizes Croatian culture and coastal vacations.
