The town of Porec is located on the western shores of the Istrian Peninsula. Town used to operate as a fishing village, and the community was established on a small symmetric peninsula in 6 BC.

The area had been inhabited long before the arrival of the Illyrian tribes. The Romans arrived in the 2nd century and established the town today known as Porec. They were granted municipal status in 1250. The longest reign was that of the Republic of Venice. The fall of Venice was followed by the rule of the Austrians and then the town came under French dominion. Porec soon fell under Austrian dominion for a second time; they ruled between 1815 and 1918. During the reign of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Porec was made the capital city of Istria and the seat of both the regional government and the Istrian Parliament.
During this period, the town went through significant social and economic development; tourism also started to flourish. Until the mid-twentieth century, several governments, rulers and states followed one another. From 1991 on, Porec has officially been a part of the Independent State of Croatia.
