From Wikipedia
The Euphrasian Basilica (Croatian: Eufrazijeva bazilika, Italian: Basilica Eufrasiana) or the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of Mary is a Roman Catholic basilica in Poreč, Croatia. The episcopal complex, including, apart the basilica itself, a sacristy, a baptistery and the bell tower of the nearby archbishop's palace, is an excellent example of early Byzantine architecture in the Mediterranean region.
The Euphrasian basilica has for the most part retained its original shape, but accidents, fires and earthquakes have altered a few details. Since it is the third church to be built on the same site, it conceals previous buildings, for example the great floor mosaic of the previous basilica from the 5th century. Because of its exceptional value, it has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1997. The Basilica is also the Cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Poreč-Pula.

Because of its exceptional value, it has been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List since 1997. The Basilica is also the Cathedral of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Poreč-Pula.
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 in the church garden. This oratorium was already expanded in the same century into a church composed of a nave and one aisle (basilicae geminae). The fish on the floor mosaic dates from this period. Coins with the portrayal of emperor Valens (365–378), found in the same spot, confirm these dates.
The present basilica, dedicated to Mary, was built in the sixth century during the period of Bishop Euphrasius. It was built from 553 on the site of the older basilica that had become dilapidated. For the construction, parts of the former church were used and the marble blocks were imported from the coast of the Sea of Marmara. The wall mosaics were executed by Byzantian masters and the floor mosaics by local experts. The construction took about ten years. Euphrasius, holding the church in his arms, is represented on one of the mosaics on the apse, next to St. Maurus.
Following the earthquake of 1440 the southern wall of the central nave of the basilica was restored, so that in place of the windows which were destroyed, other were built in the Gothic style.[1]
Description
View of the basilica
The basilica is part of a complex composed of:
A 6th-century octagonal baptistry. Built in the 5th century together with the pre-Euphrasian basilica, and underwent considerable alterations.
A 16th-century bell tower (16th century).
A colonnaded atrium. Built after the basilica, it is covered on all four sides by a portico which houses a rich collection of stone monuments.
An Episcopal residence (The Bishop's Palace), also built in the 6th century. Very little remains of the original building.
A trefoil-shaped memorial chapel, built in the 17th and 19th centuries.
Basilica entrance.
The two aisles are separated from the nave by 18 elegant Greek marble colonnades with richly sculpted Byzantine and Romanesque capitals, decorated with depictions of animals. They all carry the monogram of Saint Euphrasius. The arches between the capitals are decorated with stucco work.
A novelty of the Euphrasian basilica is that rather than being enclosed by a straight wall, as all sacred buildings were up to that time, it makes use of the breadth and length of the apse of the central nave, built in the shape of a polygon from the outside, whilst the two aisles end in smaller semicircular apses, hollowed into the wall. Thus the Euphrasian basilica is the earliest example of a triple-apsed church in Western Europe. The atrium is a typical example of Byzantine architecture, as are the columns, the tiles on the altar rail and all the abundant mosaics. Most impressive is the representation of Christ with the apostles, and beneath it a frieze of 13 medallions with a picture of Christ as the Lamb in the centre, surrounded by 12 medallions depicting various martyrs.[1]
The church houses also holy objects and other artworks from the Palaeo-Christian, Byzantine and Middle Ages periods. A votive chapel, next to the sacristy, holds the relics of Saint Maurus and Saint Eleutherius.
Motovun in Croatia: Istria's Top Hill Town [HD]
Motovun is a village in central Istria, Croatia. The population of the village itself is 531, with a total of 983 residents in the municipality; 192 of the residents have Italian as their mother language. The Porečanka was a narrow gauge railroad that ran from Trieste to Poreč between 1902-1935, passed valley below the town.
Motovun is a medieval town that grew up on the site of an ancient city called Kastelijer. It is situated on a hill 270m (886 ft) above sea level with houses scattered all over the hill. On the inner walls are several coats-of-arms of different Motovun ruling families and two gravestones of Roman inhabitants (dating from the 1st century).
In the 10th and 11th centuries it belonged to the Bishop of Poreč. From 1278 it was taken over by Venice and surrounded by solid walls which are still intact today, and used as a walkway with unique views over the four corners of Istria. All three parts of the town are connected by a system of internal and external fortifications with towers and city gates containing elements of Romanesque, Gothic and Renaissance styles, built between the 14th and 17th centuries. It is a typical example of Venetian colonial architecture.

Хорватия: Сплитский собор святого Домна
Фрагмент фильма о городе Сплит, Хорватия.
* * *
Собор обычно называют по имени святого Домна (Katedrala Sv. Duje, хорв. Dujam, хорв. Duje), бывшего в III веке епископом Салоны, хотя ему посвящена лишь колокольня собора, а храм посвящён Деве Марии. Епископ Домн в числе других христиан стал мучеником в ходе гонений христиан при Диоклетиане в 303—304 годах.
Собор находится в центре Диоклетианова дворца, его фасад обращён к западу и выходит на перистиль дворца. Сплитский собор состоит из трёх частей, построенных в разные эпохи. Основная часть храма — восьмиугольный в плане бывший мавзолей императора Диоклетиана, возведённый на стыке III и IV веков. Хоры собора построены в XVII столетии. Высокая колокольня рядом с собором была возведена в 1100 году и перестроена в 1908 году. Несмотря на различие эпох, все части собора построены из одних материалов — туфа, добытого в местных реках и белого известняка с острова Брач.
Несмотря на переделку здания бывшего мавзолея в христианский собор, архитектура строения и ряд элементов интерьера сохранились неизменными. Два ряда колонн внутри собора поддерживают богато декорированные фризы. В римскую эпоху купол мавзолея был украшен мозаикой, однако от неё ничего не осталось. Саркофаги императорской четы располагались в центре сооружения, они были уничтожены в VII веке. На фризе под куполом сохранились барельефы Диоклетиана и его жены Приски в лавровых венках.
Из числа предметов искусства христианского периода особо ценны деревянные дверные створки XIII века при входе в церковь. Они имеют размеры 5,3 на 3,6 метра и богато украшены гравировкой. На каждой створке выгравировано по 14 сцен из жизни Христа, все изображения окаймлены сложным орнаментом. Каменная кафедра слева от входа выполнена в XIII веке в романском стиле. В боковой часовне Св. Дуэ в юго-восточной нише собора находится готический алтарь XV века, авторства Бонино из Милана. Алтарь часовни Св. Станислава в северо-восточной нише с резным рельефом, изображающим бичевание Христа, выполнен Юраем Далматинцем. Северный алтарь более поздний, создан в 1767 году Г. Морлаитером в стиле барокко. Главный алтарь собора создан одновременно с хорами в XVII веке.
Крипта собора также имеет римское происхождение, в христианский период здесь была устроена часовня Святой Луции.
В сокровищнице собора хранится богатая коллекция предметов церковного искусства: ковчеги с мощами, иконы и т. д. Кроме того в собрании представлено большое количество ценных средневековых книг и рукописей.
В память Святого Дуйма ежегодно 7 мая совершается крестный ход вокруг Сплита. Литургию служат на церковно-славянском, по глаголическим книгам. При титовской власти крестный ход совершался только вокруг Сплитского собора, вокруг города было запрещено.

Ian Stewart, restoration craftsman, discusses Jean Hasbrouck House restoration project
Starting June 4, phase one of the project to restore the original 18th-century roof framing of the Jean Hasbrouck House (ca. 1721) at Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) will begin and is expected to continue through June 15.
The Jean Hasbrouck House is a specific and rare example of traditional Dutch 18th-century architecture. The house’s high-pitched gable roof spans twice the depth of other stone houses from the period and is one of a kind in the United States. The house was named a National Historic Landmark in 1967 and serves as the flagship house of seven historic house museums comprising Historic Huguenot Street’s 10-acre National Historic Landmark District (awarded 1960).
The project in the first two weeks of June focuses on the repair of damaged rafter feet on both the west and east slopes of the house as well as frame connections on the interior in the 18th-century timber-roof frame.
Ian Stewart has been working in the preservation trades for over a decade, having worked as a restoration craftsman in the past at Historic Huguenot Street and Historic Hudson Valley. He worked for the esteemed millwright Jim Kricker, honing his skills of woodworking, timber framing, blacksmithing, and masonry. He is now owner of New Netherland Timber Framing and holds a Masters degree in Preservation Studies from Boston University. His specialty is 17th- and 18th-century Anglo-Dutch houses of the Hudson Valley.
Ian discusses the uniqueness and historical significance of the timber-roof framing structure on the Jean Hasbrouck House at Historic Huguenot Street.
