Poreč Zgodovina
Poreč je zanimivo slikovito mesto, ki se nahaja na zahodni obali Istre. Lepa in bogata narava v okolici mesta zagotavlja odlične priložnosti za pridelovanje vina, obširne nasade oliv in predvsem za razvoj turistične industrije. Vendar pa se je zgodovina mesta začela že pred 2000 leti. Med številnimi narodi, ki so se naselili na tem predelu, so bila tudi Ilirska plemena Istre. Istrska plemena so premagali Rimljani. Ko so ti zavzeli Histris se je začela nova doba kulture in politike. Poreč je bil prvič omenjen 50 let pr.n.št., kot utrdba imenovana Opidum. Kasneje so na poreškem polotoku zgradili vojaško utrdbo in jo poimenovali Castrum. Pomemben zgodovinski prelom se je zgodil po določenem času, ko je bila ta naselbina razglašena za osrednje administrativno, kulturno in ekonomsko mesto rimske kolonije. Ostanki Neptunovega in Velikega templja so bili najdeni na konveksnem delu polotoka. Našli so jih na Maraforju, pravokotnem trgu, na katerem so se do danes ohranili rimski tlakovci, skriti pod današnjimi tlemi. Arhitekturni presežek, ki je deležen največje pozornosti, je Stolnica Marijinega vnebovzetja, ki datira v 6. stoletje. To je najlepši primerek bizantinske arhitekture in umetnostni spomenik na jadranski vzhodni obali.
