Cissa is a small island located off the west coast of Istria, not far from Rovinj. The island of Cissa is first mentioned by Pliny the Elder and allegedly sank during major earthquakes in the second half of the VIII century.Rovinj's local historiography advocates the thesis that ant. Cissa was on an islet south of the city, which sank in an earthquake in late antiquity, and is the forerunner of later (and today's) Rovinj. A marble inscription found near Cape Barbariga in 1778 reveals that there was a plant on Cissa for the production of a very luxurious purple cloth, as well as a procurator and council of Cisan purple.

I loved this Islet. Its weather and climate was so good and relaxing. I enjoyed spending time on its beaches and sunbathing. Its waters were clean and wonderful for a swim.

Interesting history of the place that precedes it. We had the chance to tour around the place and loved the landscape and some of the inscriptions were amazing. Wonderful place to visit and great experience that we encountered.
