The Round Tower is a round stone tower from the second half of the 15th century, a remnant of old fortifications from the Middle Ages. According to some sources, the city walls of Poreč had as many as 11 towers. Two have survived to this day - the Round Tower and Peterokutna Kula (pentagonal tower). Both are currently the seat of bars and restaurants popular in the city.
The Round Tower was founded in 1474. It was erected by the Venetians during the last renovation of the city walls, carried out for fear of Turkish attack. Inside, the tower has a network of irregular corridors and arched rooms. Currently, they constitute the picturesque interior of the restaurant, whose second room is located at the top of the tower and is also a great viewpoint.
The town of Poreč was systematically fortified and strengthened from the 12th to the 18th century. The strongest and tallest towers and defensive walls today do not exist in the fifteenth century, when the territory of today's Croatia was regularly invaded by the Ottoman Empire.
