Euphrasian Basilica
As if by design, Croatia’s historical, cultural and natural gems seem to almost be hidden in plain sight and just like their exquisite truffles, this 6th Century Basilica is no exception. Nestled off a small street in Porec this protected World Heritage site houses some of the oldest and best preserved mosaics in the world. We’ll guide you from the ornately decorated arched entrance, through the rich and long history of the site, along the stories told by the finely crafted mosaics covering the interior and towards the baptistery topping bell tower with panoramic views of the port city. So, pop in the headphones, take a stroll along the beautiful Croatian coast and let us transport you back in history to a time when Christianity was just emerging from the struggles against an intolerant and expanding Roman Empire.Your
