Rovinj-Rovigno was already a settlement of Venetian or Illyrian tribes before being captured by the Romans, who called it Arupinium or Mons Rubineus, and later Ruginium and Ruvinium.[6] Built on an island close to the coast, it became connected to the mainland much later, in 1763, by filling in the channel.[7]

Rovinj-Rovigno was eventually incorporated into the Byzantine Empire, later becoming part of the Exarchate of Ravenna in the 6th century, before being taken over by the Frankish Empire in 788.[8] For the following several centuries it was ruled by a succession of feudal lords, and in 1209 it was acquired by the Patriarchate of Aquileia under Wolfger von Erla.[9]

From 1283 to 1797, Rovinj-Rovigno was one of the most important towns in Istria governed by the Republic of Venice.[10] During this period, three town gates were constructed and Rovinj-Rovigno was fortified by two rows of defensive walls, remains of which can still be seen today.[11] The Rovinj-Rovigno pier is home to one of the old town gates, Balbi's Arch, dating from 1680, and a late-Renaissance clock tower.[12] The first city statute was proclaimed in 1531.[13]

Following the fall of Venice in 1797 and the ensuing Napoleonic interlude, Rovinj-Rovigno became part of the Austrian Empire, which lasted until World War I.[14] According to the last Austrian census in 1911, 97.8% of the population was Italian-speaking. Rovinj-Rovigno then belonged to Kingdom of Italy from 1918 to 1947, when it was ceded to SFR Yugoslavia, as part of SR Croatia. The original town name "Rovigno" was then changed to "Rovinj." During the post-war period, many Italian inhabitants left Rovigno, leading to significant changes in the city's demographic structure.

Following Croatia's independence in 1991, Rovinj-Rovigno became one of the most important centers of Istria County, an administrative unit encompassing most of Istria. Rovinj-Rovigno is today the third most populous town in the county, behind Pula-Pola and Poreč-Parenzo.

The main economic activity in Rovinj-Rovigno is tourism and during peak season (May–September), its bars, restaurants and art galleries work long hours, while operating limited hours off-season.

The town's main central thoroughfare is the fully pedestrian Carera Street, with many independent shops and art galleries. A farmer's market is located at the edge of the historic part of town, near Valdibora Square.

According to data compiled by Istria Tourist Board, Rovinj-Rovigno is the second biggest tourist destination in the county, in terms of overnight stays. The two closest airports are in Pula-Pola (Croatia) and Trieste (Italy). During the summer season, low-cost airlines, such as Ryanair, operate direct flights from western Europe to both airports. Easyjet operates flights between cities in the United Kingdom and Pula-Pola in the summer months.

There are numerous hotels in the town itself, and beds are abundant though usually overbooked in the summer months. Accommodation ranges from private rooms or apartments to bungalows, camping sites and 2- to 5-star hotels. The city also has three luxury, 5-star hotels: Hotel Monte Mulini, Hotel Lone and Grand Park Hotel Rovinj, all owned by hotel group Maistra.[20] Apart from hotels on the mainland, there are also a handful of hotels on small islands surrounding Rovinj-Rovigno which are linked to the mainland by boats which go from the city centre to the hotel on the islands.
