The list must include the 13th century Romanesque House, the Baroque interior of the Istrian Assembly, the House of Two Saints, the Gothic house and the Zuccato Palace. The most precious cultural monument, also recognized by the UNESCO in its World Heritage list, is the Basilica of Euphrasius built in the mid- sixth century. All this worthy historical heritage is still protected by the town’s medieval battlements with three towers.
Do you feel like somewhat different time travel? Come to Poreč during the Giostra – the Historical Poreč Festival.
