The Euphrasian Basilica is a basilica in Poreč, on the western coast of the Istrian peninsula, which, together with a sacristy, a baptistery and the bell tower of the nearby archbishop's palace, forms the most complete surviving complex from early Christianity, and also an excellent example of early Byzantine architecture. The earliest basilica was dedicated to Saint Maurus of Parentium and dates back to the second half of the 4th century. The floor mosaic from its oratory, originally part of a large Roman house, is still preserved.
