Euphrasian Basilica
See more Churches & Abbeys. See best of Croatia

Christianity became an established religion in Croatia as far back as the 4th Century, as this incredibly well preserved Episcopal complex at Porec shows with unparalleled clarity. Completed in the time of Bishop Euphrasius, the basilica and its attendant palace, bell tower, sacristy, atrium and baptistery comprise an eye-opening representation of early Christian life and contain some of the most impressive examples of Byzantine art in the world. The mosaics which line the apse are outstandingly beautiful, depicting Christ, the Apostles, numerous local saints and Bishop Euphrasius against a background of glittering gold.
