Poreč Attractions: 7 Visitor Guides
Poreč is built on a Roman street plan: the Decumanus and Marafor Square still run through its old town, past the Romanesque House of Two Saints and the Zuccato Palace. The UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica with its sixth-century mosaics is the town's great sight, and the Round and Pentagonal towers survive from the Venetian walls.

Church of Our Lady of the Angels, Poreč: Visitor Guide
The Church of Our Lady of the Angels is a brief stop on Freedom Square in Poreč, close to the old town and the harbour. Here is how to reach it, what you see outside, how long to allow and what to pair it with nearby.
Euphrasian Basilica, Poreč: What to See Inside
The Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč is a 6th-century episcopal complex with some of the finest early Byzantine mosaics in the Mediterranean. Here is what you will see, how the parts fit together, how long to allow and where to check tickets and times before you go.
House of Two Saints, Poreč: Location and What to See
The House of Two Saints is a Renaissance secular building in Poreč's old town, named among the town's historic monuments. This guide fixes its place in the Roman street grid and shows how to fold it into a short walk with Marafor Square and the Euphrasian Basilica.
Marafor Square, Poreč: Roman Ruins in the Old Town
Marafor Square is a small, free square in the middle of Poreč's old town peninsula, where two Roman temple remains stand among cafés and shops. Treat it as a short stop on an old-town walk, look for the temple ruins and the Romanesque House on the corner, then carry on to the Riva or the basilica.
Pentagonal Tower, Poreč: Visiting the Peterokutna kula
The Pentagonal Tower is Poreč's Gothic old-town gate on the Decumanus, a street-level sight worth a short pause. Here is where it stands, what to look for in the stonework and how it fits into a walk through the peninsula.
Round Tower Poreč: Visiting the Old Town's Round Tower
The Round Tower is a fragment of Poreč's old defensive circuit, not a sight to build a day around. Allow a few minutes at the tower itself and an hour or two for the whole peninsula, taking in Marafor Square, the Gothic palaces along Decumanus and the Euphrasian Basilica.
Zuccato Palace, Poreč: Visiting the Gothic Palace on Decumanus
Zuccato Palace is a short stop, not a sight that fills an afternoon: a Gothic corner building on Decumanus in Poreč's old town, occupied by a gallery today. Find it by walking the Roman street cross, look at the stone facades, then fold it into a wander past the other palaces and the squares nearby.
