Euphrasius' Basilica - UNESCO World Heritage
Euphrasius'
Basilica is the most valuable cultural monument in Poreč. It was built on
the remains of an earlier church in the first half of the 6th
century during the period of Bishop Euphrasius, whose name it bears. Visitors'
tours are possible everyday except during religious rituals. It is possible to
climb up to the steeple and view Poreč and its surroundings.
The entire complex of Euphrasiana included the magnificent three-nave church, baptistery, atrium and the former Bishop’s Palace. It is one
of the best examples of early Byzantine art on the Mediterranean,
and due to its exceptional value it has been entered on the UNESCO World
Heritage List in 1997.
