History of
Vrsar
The city has its name probably from two close convenient
sources, which one derives from its documented original
designations. The place was called over the centuries
Ursaria, Ursarium, Orsaria and Vrsarium, where the word
source is contained in each case. Relikte of old mansions
and mosaic finds witness from the coining/shaping Roman
time. In the Middle Ages the city was surrounded by a
Townwalls, from which the two city gates are still best
received. Also the castellet and a early Christian Basilika
still witness from this time. From 983 to 1778 the city
stood under the direct administration of the diocese Poreč,
became however under Austrian regency in 19. Ct. an own
district. Further history is closely linked with the bishop
seat Poreč. Some centuries long from the quarry the stone di
Orsera was exported to Venice or Ravenna. The senate of
Venice and above all the Venezian Magno felt Vrsar as place
of refuge queue nest at the bosom of Venice for criminals!
