Rab is one of the oldest cities on the Adriatic, founded in Roman times under the name Arba. The old town spreads across a narrow peninsula, and its skyline is defined by four Romanesque bell towers visible from the sea. Three parallel stone streets — the Upper, Middle, and Lower — lead visitors past the cathedral, churches, and medieval houses. Beyond the historic core, the island of Rab is also known for its beaches, pine forests, and peaceful coves.

A medieval town center on a narrow peninsula surrounded by the sea on three sides, with well-preserved Romanesque and Gothic buildings. Narrow stone streets run through three parallel main axes — the Upper, Middle, and Lower — offering insight into the urban layout of a Dalmatian coastal town from the 11th to 13th centuries. A distinctive feature is the four bell towers that dominate the skyline of Rab, visible from far out at sea.
Four Romanesque bell towers built between the 11th and 13th centuries form the most recognizable visual identity of the island of Rab. The tallest and oldest is the bell tower of the Cathedral of Saint Mary the Great, standing around 26 meters high, which can be climbed for an additional fee. The other three — the bell towers of the churches of St. Andrew, St. John, and St. Justine — offer a contrast of diverse Romanesque styles within a small area.
A 12th-century Roman Catholic cathedral considered one of the most significant examples of Romanesque architecture on the Adriatic. The interior houses a silver sarcophagus containing the relics of St. Christopher, the patron saint of the island, and several precious Gothic and Baroque altars. The church is the cathedral of the Diocese of Rab-Senj, whose roots reach back to late antiquity.
A circular boat tour around the island reveals a series of coves inaccessible by land — Kandarola, Pudarica, Sv. Eufemija.
