I have been to this Basilica twice, once in 2009 and once in 2011. The new tour they have of the WHOLE Basilica is well, well worth it. This is one of the few preserved Byzantine Basilica's in Croatia, and the mosaic work and frescos, while not textbook material, are still very beautiful and tell the story of a coastal...

I've been unlucky with the most terrible weather ever (strong wind & rain together) and once you've seen its beauty you just forgot about all the environment around. Unbelievable!

Well worth the visit, hidden little treasure in the back streets. Nice to see the mosiacs and how they are being preserved.
Hidden away in a narrow side street the basillica in porec is well worth hunting down and
spending some quiet time there. From the bell tower down to the baptism well there is a lot of very interesting information in the history of porec , and , from the top of the tower you get a wonderful panoramic view of...
