Where the modern port rudely intrudes into the town image lies the Fishermen Square (Ribiški trg), one of the most important on the town edge with a port. During the 1960s, it was built in by the port's business offices and a high wall. When the northern bypass was constructed, after the entire decade, the load of its inhabitants was taken off as the picturesque square has again become accessible to the public. A row of the 14th century Venetian-Gothic residential houses shape the eastern side of the square.
