The landscape around Poreč is a low, indented stretch of the Istrian coast on the Adriatic Sea, which has shaped both the town’s compact peninsula and its maritime economy. Roman Poreč was laid out on a regular street grid, still legible along Decumanus, the principal east–west street of the old town. Its defining monument is the 6th-century Euphrasian Basilica, whose early Christian complex is inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List. Seafront promenades, small coves and the old harbour keep the town closely tied to the water, while inland Istria is known for vineyards and olive groves.
