Poreč, Historical coastal town in Istria, Croatia

The old town of Poreč maintains a Roman grid layout with two main intersecting streets, Decumanus Maximus and Cardo Maximus, reflecting ancient urban planning.

The Episcopal Complex of the Euphrasian Basilica, constructed in the 6th century, stands as a testament to Byzantine architecture and features detailed gold mosaics.

The Marafor Square contains remnants of two Roman temples dedicated to Neptune and Mars, serving as the central gathering place since ancient times.

Visitors can access numerous beaches along the 10-kilometer coastline and participate in water sports activities at facilities spread across Green and Blue Lagoon areas.

The Baredine Cave extends 132 meters underground, revealing five chambers filled with crystalline formations, stalactites, and stalagmites through guided multilingual tours.
