Why it is worth your time
This tower stands where Poreč's defences once turned to face the land, a solid counterpart to the towers watching the harbour. Its thick stone walls are a reminder that the old town needed defending from more than just the sea. Walk the streets around it and you can still trace the line the vanished walls once followed.
