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
2. HISTORY AND CULTURE<br />
11<br />
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.
