Visitor Center "La mula de Parenzo"

NOTICE:

The Center is temporarily closed to visitors, and all educational activities are currently suspended.

"La mula de Parenzo" (The Girl from Poreč) is the unofficial anthem of the city of Poreč. As such, it is inseparable from the culture, lifestyle, and spirit of its inhabitants. This song, an intangible heritage of the city, has been materialized through the visitor center, affectionately called butiga (“the shop”), "La mula de Parenzo."

Who was “la mula de Parenzo”? What did she do? Why is she important to this city? In the Center you can discover plenty of information about the song itself, as well as the history of Poreč at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the social context in which the song was born, and the city's gastronomy and fishing traditions.

Here, the past and present, tradition and technology merge—through our photographs, infographics, and interactive multimedia tools, immerse yourself in the past of Poreč, accompanied by the unmistakable rhythms of the song "La mula de Parenzo."
