Vrsar is one of the most attractive towns in Istria. It is located on a high hill by the sea and is surrounded by green islets and cherms. The biggest attractions of the city are the parish church of St. Martin, the municipal palace with a bell and the church of St. Mary by the harbor.
Emperor Otto III. donated the city to the Porec bishops in 983. The diocese was the owner of the land until 1778. The authorities fortified the town with a manor house, which is now a palace, and surrounded it with towers and walls. On the square under Vrsar, there are the city gates and the three-altar church of St. Foske from the 17th century. At the top of the hill is the bishop's palace and the church of St. Martin, which was built between 1927 and 1935. On the front of the church, there is a plaque with an inscription in Latin commemorating Pope Pius XI, Bishop Trifon Pederzolli of Porec, and the Italian King Victor Emanuel is also mentioned. The names of all the donors who made the construction of the church possible are engraved on the pillars of the church. The bell tower is 40 meters high and was erected in 1991.
Next to the town square is the municipal palace with a bell, which is the seat of the current municipality. Here is also the Gate of St. Anthony with built-in cannonballs, lodge of St. Anton Abbot from 1656 and the Small Gate. Today, the lodge houses an art gallery known for its naive painters.
