About Poreč
Poreč is a small Adriatic port town on Istria's west coast, famous for its sixth-century Euphrasian Basilica, Byzantine mosaics and Roman street plan.
Poreč lies on a peninsula on the western coast of Istria, in Croatia, and its old town still follows the grid of the Roman settlement, with the Decumanus as its main street. The Euphrasian Basilica, built in the sixth century, is a World Heritage site; its apse is covered with Byzantine mosaics of gold and colour. Remains of the Temple of Neptune and the Marafor forum survive, and Venetian-era houses line the lanes.
