Historical itineraries walk

A walk through the Riviera offers a journey through history in the open air: from Roman and medieval traces to Baroque and Renaissance ornaments, frescoes and architectural details that tell stories of life through the centuries. Every street, square and monument reveals a rich historical and cultural heritage that makes the Riviera a special destination for lovers of history and architecture.

A journey through the Poreč Riviera can become a journey through time. In the streets of Poreč, travel from Antiquity through Byzantine, Romanesque and Gothic architecture to the cultural heritage of more recent history.

A particularly unique experience is offered by the intersection of Cardo and Decumanus Maximus, the main streets of the old town, where the layout of Roman urban planning and city blocks can still be seen. At the unmissable Euphrasian Basilica, you will discover why Poreč is known as the city of mosaics, while the Romanesque House and the Gothic Pentagonal Tower evoke life in the Middle Ages.

Medieval sacred art and architecture can be found in the churches of Vižinada, while Renaissance and Baroque influences are preserved in the carefully maintained churches of Funtana, Tar and Vabriga. In Vižinada, be sure to pay attention to the church frescoes and the old šterna, a traditional rainwater cistern, while a walk through old villages such as Kaštelir-Labinci reveals typical Istrian houses and churches.
