Lonely Planet review for Euphrasian Basilica

The main reason to visit Poreč is to see the 6th-century Euphrasian Basilica , a World Heritage site and one of the finest intact examples of Byzantine art. Built on the site of a 4th-century basilica and 5th-century church, the complex includes a church, atrium and baptistry. Mosaics from the earlier structures are still visible on the floor of the northern nave but it is the glittering wall mosaics in the apse that packs in the crowds.

These 6th-century masterpieces feature Biblical scenes, archangels and Istrian martyrs.
