VRSAR INFO<br />

VRSAR AND ITS SURROUNDINGS<br />

Vrsar is one of the most important tourist centers on the west coast of Istria. It<br />

is situated between Funtana <strong>and</strong> the Lim bay. Considering its specific natural<br />

environment, it is a perfect summer destination. The climate is Mediterranean.<br />

The winters are mild <strong>and</strong> summers are long <strong>and</strong> warm. The winter temperature<br />

rarely lowers below 0˚C. The average spring temperature is 12,5˚ <strong>and</strong> the summer<br />

temperature 23,4˚C. During autumn, the usual temperature is 15,6˚C <strong>and</strong> during<br />

winter 5,5˚C. Vrsar is annually exposed to about 2000 hours of sunrays. Most<br />

common winds are the northeastern wind (bura), the south wind (jugo) <strong>and</strong> the<br />

l<strong>and</strong>ward breeze (maestral). The northeastern wind usually blows during winter<br />

(from the continent to the sea), rapidly lowering the temperature. The south wind<br />

blows from the open sea towards the l<strong>and</strong>, bringing clouds <strong>and</strong> rain. The l<strong>and</strong>ward<br />

wind is a refreshing wind coming from the sea <strong>and</strong> is typical for summer days.<br />

The sea can reach the highest temperature of 26 degrees <strong>and</strong> the lowest of 8<br />

degrees. The coastal part is well indented with bays <strong>and</strong> small isl<strong>and</strong>s. The Lim<br />

canal, which is contiguous with Vrsar, is especially suitable for cultivation of<br />

shells, primarily mussels <strong>and</strong> oysters.<br />

People<br />

Today Vrsar has about 2650 inhabitants.<br />

As tourism flourishes, this small fishing<br />

town transforms into a modern tourist<br />

center. With the development of<br />

tourism, the population number<br />

increases. Due to various historical<br />

changes, the Vrsar ethnic structure was<br />

changing continuously. In 1943 Istria<br />

joined Croatia, that is, Yugoslavia, which<br />

resulted in most of the Italians<br />

migrating to Italy. The half-forsaken<br />

Vrsar was soon settled by families from<br />

southern Croatia (Dalmatia), especially<br />

BraË.<br />

Today many Croatians live in Vrsar. The<br />

Vrsar inhabitants will underst<strong>and</strong> you<br />

if you speak Italian, because here, as<br />

in the rest of Istria, both languages are<br />

equally used.


1. CROATIA, ISTRIA,VRSAR<br />

History<br />

Throughout the <strong>history</strong>, the name Vrsar<br />

had many different forms: Ursaria,<br />

Ursarium, Vrsarium, Orsaria, <strong>and</strong> <strong>other</strong>s.<br />

They all have the same root - “ur”,<br />

which means “a source”. The<br />

Mediterranean sailors used to take fresh<br />

drinkable water from a spring on the<br />

coast between Funtana <strong>and</strong> Vrsar, hence<br />

the name Ursaria.<br />

The Istrian peninsula was most likely<br />

settled already during the prehistoric<br />

period. In the vicinity of Vrsar, in the<br />

pit of St Romuald above the Lim canal,<br />

traces of the Paleolithic <strong>culture</strong> were<br />

discovered. In the prehistoric period,<br />

several hillocks near Vrsar were<br />

colonized. Fortifications situated on<br />

the today’s Vrsar area belonged to the<br />

first known inhabitants of the Istrian<br />

peninsula, the H<strong>istria</strong>n people. They<br />

occupied most of the peninsula, hence<br />

the name H<strong>istria</strong> - Istria. Besides<br />

agri<strong>culture</strong> <strong>and</strong> cattle raising, an<strong>other</strong><br />

important economic activity was the<br />

maritime trade. The development of<br />

Vrsar started during the Roman rule.<br />

7<br />

In Vrsar <strong>and</strong> its surroundings there are<br />

still traces of Roman <strong>culture</strong>. With the<br />

downfall of the Roman Empire, Istria<br />

succumbs to the Gothic rule. In 538, it<br />

is annexed to Byzantium, <strong>and</strong> stays<br />

there till the 8th century. At the<br />

beginning of the 7th century, Istria was<br />

settled by the Slavs. The Byzantine rule<br />

was shortly broken off by the transitory<br />

rules of Lombards <strong>and</strong> Franks. Between<br />

the 10th <strong>and</strong> the 18th centuries, Vrsar<br />

was ruled by PoreË bishops appointed<br />

by the Roman popes.<br />

In the 18th century, the famous lover<br />

<strong>and</strong> adventurer Giacomo Casanova<br />

spent two summers in Vrsar, which is<br />

evident from his memoirs. In the 2nd<br />

half of the 18th century Vrsar<br />

underwent the Venetian reign. After<br />

the fall of the Venetian rule, Vrsar<br />

succumbs to the Austrian <strong>and</strong> then<br />

French rule (Napoleon’s army). Between<br />

1813 <strong>and</strong> 1918, it finds itself under the<br />

Austrian rule again. After the fall of<br />

the Austrian-Hungarian monarchy,<br />

Istria becomes part of the Italian<br />

kingdom, which lasts till its capitulation<br />

in 1943.<br />

In the 4th century it became an<br />

important old-Christian center. At the<br />

time, Vrsar was a significant intersection<br />

of continental <strong>and</strong> nautical trade<br />

connections.<br />

The vicinity of the Italian Ravenna<br />

largely influenced the development of<br />

Vrsar <strong>and</strong> <strong>other</strong> Istrian Roman centers.<br />

In 1941, Hitler <strong>and</strong> Mussolini occupied<br />

Yugoslavia. In 1943 Istria was overtaken<br />

by Germans. At the beginning of May<br />

1945, it was freed by the Partisans.<br />

After the liberation, Istria joins<br />

Yugoslavia, that is, Croatia, <strong>and</strong> in the<br />

year 1990 it becomes an independent<br />

state.

AND<br />

CULTURE<br />

CULTURAL AND<br />

HISTORICAL<br />

MONUMENTS<br />

Kaπtel<br />

In the 12th <strong>and</strong> 13th centuries, PoreË<br />

bishops had a small unostentatious<br />

Roman palace, later (14-18th century)<br />

turned into the castle we know today.<br />

The palace used to be a fortification<br />

protected by bulwarks <strong>and</strong> towers,<br />

partially preserved today. Near the<br />

palace there are two Roman towers<br />

dating from the 13th century. On the<br />

southern side of the palace, there are<br />

two watchtowers with the armourer’s<br />

shops. On the front surface of the left<br />

tower there’s a sundial.<br />

Today’s Kaπtel is completely renovated.<br />

Three palace stores are transformed<br />

into apartments for public sale.<br />

The parochial church of<br />

St Martin<br />

In the vicinity of Kaπtel, the church of<br />

St Martin is settled. Its foundations<br />

were laid in the 19th century. The<br />

construction continues over the period<br />

between 1927 <strong>and</strong> 1935. The church<br />

tower was built in 1991. The church<br />

displays interesting art objects.<br />

The church of St Foπka<br />

The church was built in the first half<br />

of the 17th century. Today this<br />

renovated church contains a sacral<br />

collection comprised of many valuable<br />

artifacts.<br />

Open: 9-11 <strong>and</strong> 18-21 h<br />

VRSAR INFO<br />

The main town gate<br />

Next to the church of St Foπka we can<br />

see the main town gate dating from<br />

the 13th century. The gate used to be<br />

part of a wall. Above the gate, on the<br />

stone tablet, there’s a relief depicting<br />

the lion of St Marko (symbol of the<br />

Venetian Republic). The lion holds a<br />

closed book, which points out to the<br />

fact that it was carved in the period in<br />

<strong>history</strong> when the Venetian republic was<br />

at war.<br />

The old Roman gate<br />

The old Roman gate is a bit smaller<br />

than the main town gate. Made in the<br />

2nd half of the 12th or the beginning<br />

of the 13th century, it was also a part<br />

of a wall.<br />

The church of St Anton<br />

Near the old Roman gate there is the<br />

little church of St Anton of Padova<br />

dating from the 2nd half of the 17th<br />

century. It displays characteristics of<br />

both the Renaissance <strong>and</strong> the baroque<br />

style.<br />

Basilica of St Mary of the<br />

Sea<br />

At the Vrsar quay, there’s an interesting<br />

medieval monument - the basilica of St<br />

Mary of the Sea. This is an important<br />

representative of Roman architecture<br />

in Istria. The first church of St Mary was<br />

built in the 2nd half of the 8th century.<br />

In the period between the 8th <strong>and</strong> the<br />

12th centuries, the building underwent<br />

numerous restorations <strong>and</strong> transformations.<br />

Today’s appearance of the church<br />

originates from the 12th century.<br />

Bulwarks <strong>and</strong> towers<br />

The first prehistoric settlement (from<br />

the Bronze <strong>and</strong> Iron Age) situated at

the top of a hillock, was enclosed by<br />

simple bulwarks. During the Middle<br />

Ages, Vrsar was encompassed by<br />

bulwarks <strong>and</strong> towers. In between the<br />

13th <strong>and</strong> the 16th centuries, new walls<br />

were built. Some buildings still display<br />

fragments of the town bulwarks.
