Poreč Old Town
Poreč / Parenzo
A peninsula old town laid out along Roman street patterns, with Gothic and Renaissance mansions lining the Decumanus, the main street.
Poreč’s Old Town keeps the grid street layout of the Roman period. The main street, the Decumanus, runs through the peninsula, flanked by Venetian Gothic mansions, Roman-style houses and shops. At its far end, Marafor Square contains the ruins of a Roman temple. The seaside path around the peninsula is a good place to watch the sunset, and there are restaurants and ice cream shops by the harbor. Open all day, with the Old Town as a pedestrian zone. It is about 35 km from Rovinj, roughly a 40-minute drive.
