Poreč

Poreč is another seaside town in Croatia. In fact, this is part of the most visited tourist destination of Croatia. This post focuses on the old town where the UNESCO listed basilica/episcopal complex is located (see other posts). Like most of this region, there is evidence of prehistoric settlement, but it was thanks to the Romans in the 1st century BCE when it became more settled. It may be of any interest that the old town preserves the locations of the streets of the old Roman town.
The 1st picture looks along the quay and bay to the old town. The bell tower of the episcopal complex is visible.
The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pictures are of various places along the ancient defensive walls.
The 5th picture is of the main square, called Freedom Square. This looks across to the end of the main pedestrian and shopping street that is in the last picture.Read more
