Porec Local History

This town originated as an ancient Roman settlement in the 2nd century, passed through many rulers-the Goths, the Byzantines, the Franks and ended up a Venetian possession. The city had to survive Roman persecution of the Church, maurading pirates, plague- to name but a few hardships! Amazing remains are to be found of all these influences in this harbour town.
