Take a tour of Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč, Croatia - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
The Euphrasian Basilica stands magnanimously on the grounds of Poreč in Croatia.
The basilica is a part of the Episcopal complex, which is an immaculate archetype of early Byzantine architecture.
The primary features of this masterpiece are the lovely mosaics which date to the 4th and 6th centuries.
The gorgeous mosaic on the vault showcasing Mary and Child is the only existing representation of its kind left in an early-Christian western basilica.
The present structure was constructed in the 6th century on the grounds of a former 4th century basilica.
This grand monument has survived numerous mishaps and natural disasters over time, and miraculously has managed to retain much of its original shape.
