After conquering the peninsula two thousand years ago, the inhabitants Histri, and the Romans established on this location their colony called Parentium. During its storming past, Byzants, the Venetian Republic, Napoleon's France, Austrian-Hungarian monarchy, Italy and finally Yugoslavia ruled over the city.

The old city is a cultural monument by itself. There is a sacral complex, the Euphrasian Basilica from VI century. The mosaics that decorate the interior and the forepart of the church fall into a category of the most beautifully preserved works of Byzantium art. UNESCO has classified the whole complex, since 1997, as the world's cultural heritage.
