Poreč-Parenzo

Poreč has preserved the same street layout as in the antiquity. The 6th century Euphrasian Basilica with its unique mosaics is its most famous monument.

Poreč, along with Pula, was the first Roman colony in Istria. It has still preserved the same street layout of the Old Town as in the antiquity, as well as the ruins of its Roman temple. The Euphrasian Basilica Complex is the UNESCO World Heritage site, with its worldknown Byzantine mosaics and remains of an older Early Christian church. The town centre consists of a Romanesque house, several Gothic mansions, and the Istrian Parliament building, the seat of the provincial assembly in the 19th century. The town theatre was renovated in 2006.
