POREČ - Euphrasian Basilica - World Heritage Sites in Croatia
Episcopal Complex of the Euphrasian Basilica in
the Historic Centre of Poreč
The group of religious monuments in Porec, where
Christianity was established as early as the 4th century, constitutes the most
complete surviving complex of its type. The basilica, atrium, baptistery and
episcopal palace are outstanding examples of religious architecture, while the
basilica itself combines classical and Byzantine elements in an exceptional
manner. Because of its exceptional value, it has been inscribed on the UNESCO
World Heritage List in 1997.
