Poreč
Tucked along Istria’s western Adriatic coast, Funtana is a place whose character is shaped by its sheltered maritime setting. This compact settlement lies between Poreč and Vrsar, with a harbour and marina central to daily life on the water. Its name refers to fountains, recalling the freshwater springs that once mattered in this limestone coastal district. Fishing remains part of the local identity, alongside sailing and the holiday economy of the Poreč Riviera. Inland, low Istrian terrain is marked by pine, maquis and cultivated plots, while the coast opens toward the Adriatic Sea. The parish Church of St Bernard is a longstanding focal point of the settlement. Funtana retains the scale of a lived-in coastal community rather than a resort city.

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.
