Episcopal Complex, Poreč

The episcopal complex, as it is called, was built around the Euphrasian basilica (see another post). It consists of several parts. The Episcopal Palace was not open, but adjoins the atrium that is shown in the 2nd picture.
The 1st picture is of the entrance to the complex from the street. Even here, the mosaics are stunning.
The 3rd picture is of the baptistry with the bell tower behind. The 4th picture looks at the inside of the baptistry which is an open multistory octagonal building. It has both an ancient hexagonal immersion pool and a baptismal font.
The 5th picture looks at a portion of the complex wall in the atrium showing examples of the bas relief carvings that have been preserved. The last picture looks from the atrium to the basilica facade with more extraordinary mosaics. The carvings above are there but not discernible.Okumaya devam et
