UMAG, Istria

Umag was founded already in the ancient times when people started inhabiting an island which later became a peninsula. In written form, it was mentioned for the first time in the 6thcentury under the name of Humagum. It developed thanks to its favourable position; it was on the way of Aquilea founded by the Romans as their military base for Istria and Northern Adriatic. Just like all Istria, Umag was also under the rule of different empires.

In Western Istria and Umag you will find some of the beaches with the highest sea qualitywhich is proved by the Blue Flags that can be seen on many beaches in Umag. Some of the most known Umag beaches are Katoro, Aurora, Kanegra and Laguna Stella Maris. 

Although it dates back to the ancient times, Umag has preserved only the Medieval architecture. The remnants of this are seen in the city walls, Venetian villas, picturesque streets... As already mentioned, the Old Town is now on a peninsula which was once an island. In the 10th century the city walls were built around the settlement and which was connected to the mainland by a drawbridge.

The best preserved building is also the oldest one - the west tower which houses the Museum of the City. In the centre there is a square with the church of the Assumption of Mary.

A little bit outside Umag, in Savudrija, you can visit the oldest lighthouse in Croatia. It was built in 1818 and there is a legend about its construction. Metternich, an Austrian count, fell in love with a Croatian lady at a Viennese ball so he had this lighthouse built only for her. However, she got ill and never got to see it, so the count decided to never again visit the lighthouse.

In Umag, Sole Fish Days are held every year. This manifestation lasts for a month and is held in restaurants which offer 4 course menus based on common sole, accompanied by excellent Istrian wines and olive oil.  What Umag is most famous for is the ATP Croatian Open Umag tennis tournament which takes place every year in July. 

Enjoy!
