Poreč

The landscape around Poreč is low and indented along the Adriatic coast, which has shaped both the town’s form and its seafaring economy. The historic core occupies a small peninsula, where the Roman street pattern still survives in the Decumanus and Cardo Maximus. Its defining monument is the Euphrasian Basilica, a sixth-century episcopal complex inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List for its early Christian art and architecture. Beyond the old streets, Poreč’s waterfront and nearby coves place the town firmly in Istria’s coastal culture, alongside a regional tradition of olive growing and winemaking.
