Poreč is the center of the western coast of Istria. Founded much more than 2 millennia ago, it was a Histric fortress, a Roman city and colony, the seat of Byzantine bishops, a Venetian estate and the center of power in Istria.

Every period has left its mark in this beautiful city. The raster of streets is identical to that of the time of ancient Rome, numerous archaeological finds testify to the importance of this city.

Byzantium left the Euphrasian Basilica, whose mosaics gave Poreč a nickname – the city of mosaics. During the rule of Venice, numerous palaces were built that still adorn the streets of Poreč.

Even today, Poreč is very interesting. Numerous concerts and exhibitions are held almost every day during the summer season. Also, many restaurants offer a richness of Istrian cuisine. In the bars, you can meet all the good wines that Istria is proud of.


A city you should definitely get to know.
