Listed in Bond (1908: 18) as a sixth-century baptistery. Davies (1962: 3-4) informs that "shortly after A.D. 524 Bishop Euphrasius rebuilt the entire church and altered the circular baptistery into an octagonal one." The UNESCO EX/PO AUS project [www.expoaus.org/the-euphrasian-basilica-in-porec-uso3] [accessed 19 November 2014] notes: "The Pre-Euphrasiana includes a preserved eight-sided baptistery with an inserted six-sided baptismal font."
