The more than 2000 years of history of Poreč, which was founded by the Romans, is reflected in the palaces, facades, churches and lanes. One of the most valuable Croatian sacral monuments, Euphrasius Basilica was built in Porec in mid 6th century - the whole complex entered 1997 the UNESCO's World heritage list. A special pleasure for lovers of classical music are the traditional concerts in the Basilica, which take place regularly in the summer months. Artist create and exhibit their works in the old Gothic palaces and on the squares.

Rovinj was born on an island, and then in 18th century the channel was filled up. The beautiful town is dominated by the church of St. Euphemia, a baroque edifice built in the 18th century. On the top of the bell tower there is the statue of St. Euphemia which revolving on its axis, has been showing the weather prospects to her fishermen for more then three centuries. The archipelago of thirteen islands gives a special allure to the coast.
