World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Croatia Travel Guide http://bit.ly/19HqlHp Shepherd Entertainment takes you on a tour of Vrsar, a romantic, sunny and typical Mediterranean settlement that used to be a finishing village and still is, but tourism has become increasingly significant. Vrsar with only 1600 residents was also a fishing village once. It's a romantic sun kissed characteristic settlement of the Adriatic. The city wall can only be seen in parts today, some sections of it were built in the façade of the houses in the course of development. From the harbor, steep medieval streets lead up to the old town where a wonderful view opens up to the large rocks remaining from the old stone mine, the harbor, the islands. From here, we can best see the countless islands of various sizes. Among which, there are rocky and grassy, inhabited and uninhabited but for sunbathers and swimmers arriving by boat, all are equally lovely. The crown of the old town is the church with its Venetian style tower built in the 12th century. Behind it, there's the holiday home of the bishops of Porec. Porec is an intimate city abundant in monuments with a great history and significant tourism. Open air market is held all season long on the promenade where street musicians and puppeteers entertain the vacationers in the evenings. The renaissance towers standing behind the port and the arcade building of the city hall are from Venetian times. The old town shows a unified image in spite of the fact that besides Venetian style buildings, we can find a number of gothic, baroque and renaissance houses. The basilica, part of the UNESCO world heritage named after St. Euphrasia was built on the foundation of a paleo Christian prayer house. In the 5th century, it was developed into a three knave basilica. It was made world famous primarily by its Byzantine mosaics. The three knaves of the basilica are separated by Corinthian pillars. Its center dominated by the open atrium. The mosaic of the walls of the sanctuary depict scenes from the life of St. Maurus and the floor of the remains of the mosaics of the old basilica can be found. The wall of the atrium is decorated with embossments and carvings. The frescoes and paintings are from the early middle ages. The roads running across the peninsula follow the line of Roman roads. Parts of these still incorporate the stones in these old roads, worn and smooth as glass. On the coast of the Adriatic, abundant in fish, seafood is tremendously popular.
