History
A small peninsula laid out on the original Roman street grid — the decumanus and cardo still run arrow-straight to the sea. Beyond the Euphrasian Basilica you'll find Venetian palazzi, two Romanesque houses and a pentagonal watchtower marking the medieval entrance.
“The Roman street plan is so intact that maps of 1st-century Parentium still work for walking modern Poreč.”
