Více o knize

This book contains Croation, Italian, English, German, French, Spanish and Russian versions of the text.The cathedral complex of the Euphrasian Basilica has been the centre of spirituality and faith in Poreč and surrounding areas for centuries. Its unique early Christian and Byzantine architecture is the fruit of an exquisite world-class artistic expression.We wish to emphasise the proud fact that this sacred complex in our city has remained almost intact since the time of Justinian and has deserved to be included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. Precisely for this reason, the city and the entire region have become an important destination of Croatian tourism.The inherited value of this cultural monument obliges us to take care of it in the best possible way and to present it gracefully to visitors. Publishing this book which is in front of you is one of the ways of its presentation. Each traveller should take it with them as a lasting memory.Beautiful documentary and artistic photographs by Gianluca Benedetti contained in this publication clearly show the beauty and atmosphere of this centuries-old Episcopal seat. In the text section there is the most important information on the history of the edifice and architectural features. The book will surely delight lovers of history and art but also a wider readership.
