Yacht Charter Vrsar
Alter Hafen_Vrasar_The former fishing village Vrsar (2700 inhabitants) has become an important tourist center. The long tourist tradition goes back to the summer residence of the bishops of Porec. A special feature is the division of the city into the waterfront and the hilly town on the other side. Life seems to play only on the shore area, while the old town makes an impression as 50 years ago. Mind you, there are also some very nice renovated old town houses.
The city has its name probably from two nearby springs, which is known as the original names have been documented. The place was called over the centuries "Ursaria", "Ursarium", "Orsaria" and "Vrsarium". In each of these words “spring” is included. Relics of old villas and mosaic bring evidence of the influential Roman times. In the middle Ages the city was surrounded by a wall, of which the two gates are still nicely preserved today.
Even the fort and an early Christian basilica are evidence of this period. From 983 to 1178, the city was under the direct administration of the diocese Porec, but under the Austrian reign in the 19th century. The subsequent history is closely linked to the bishop of Porec. For several centuries the "Stone Tues Orsera" was taking from the quarry and exported to Venice and Ravenna. The Venetian Senate and especially the Venetian Magno felt Vrsrar as a haven for criminals – a nest of vipers in the bosom of Venice.
The Trg Degrassi represents the center of the upper city. For many centuries this was the main seat of the Episcopal Saline administrator and Church Square of a ruined chapel from World War II. There you will also find the Roman city gate of the former fort. To the east lies a small Renaissance church called St., Foska from the 17th Centuries. Right next to it, is the main gate of the Roman city from the 13th Century.

Right next to it, is the main gate of the Roman city from the 13th Century.
Right next to Sv. Martin located on the Church Square, is one magnificent building (Palazzo Edbesorsa). Already in the 12th Century, it drew the bishops of Porec to Vrsar to their summer residence. The then fairly modest building then continuously expanded (14th – 18th century). Because of the high walls and the shooting towers it is also known as a citadel. The guards were necessary because of the revolting peasant which the extravagance of the bishops had caused. In the 19th Century, the palace had to be sold to the patrician family Vergotini, due to economic constraints. After the restoration in 2002, it was converted into condominiums and sold.
The famous contemporary artist Dusdan Dzamonja maintains a private sculpture park. It is located about 1km towards Funtana. Unfortunately, there are no regulated opening times. For other sculptors Vrsar has become their home, as the limestone of the coast is well suited for sculptures. Marble from Vrsar is ideal because it is resistant to salt water.
The promontory Montraker offers some swimming options. You can gain access to the beach from the parking lot of Rade Koncara. There is also a footpath that leads to the school of sculpture. The whole lagoon up until the the island of Sv. Jurai is closed for swimmers. From Montrake you will have magnificent panoramic views of the old town and the port of Vrsar. Here you take incredible sunsets pictures.
