Poreč - Parenzo
Cities, Towns and Hamlets

On December 7, 1997, the UNESCO World Heritage Committee inscribed 46 new sites on its World Heritage List, included among them the episcopal complex of the Euphrasian Basilica in the historic centre of Porec (C ii iii iv) with the following description:

The group of religious monuments in Porec, where Christianity was established as early as the 4th century, constitutes the most complete surviving complex of this type. The basilica, atrium, baptistery, and episcopal palace are outstanding examples of religious architecture, whilst the basilica itself combines classical and Byzantine elements in an exceptional manner.
