Pula is situated at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula and is the area's largest city. Located beneath seven hills and with views of the Adriatic, Pula's unspoiled natural surroundings are magical. Known for its mild climate and tame, beautiful sea, Pula also has a long tradition of winemaking, fishing and shipbuilding. It is also home to many ancient Roman buildings, including the well-preserved, magnificent amphitheater.

The Arena in Pula is a 1st-century Roman amphitheatre. The arena is the 6th largest in the world.
The most important monument in the city of Pula, located in its center. Currently used for summer events and shows, the arena was built in the 1st century from limestone used for gladiator fights and continues to delight us even today.

One of the many reminders of Christian times in Pula, the Monastery and Church is worth a visit. Well looked after and in great condition, it reminded us of the St Francis Monastery in Venice, no doubt once linked due to the history between the two cities. Don't miss the turtles in the central courtyard!

I cant emphasise how great this experience was. Me and my girlfriend decided to complete the walk from Pula city centre (old town) all the way to find this mysterious bridge. It took us around 1hr 24 minutes, on way we found a wonderful little town where we stopped off at the market to get some sugar. Anyways when we got here we found the bridge and the sea and the water was lovely it was so clear and blue. When we got to the bridge, we had some wonderful photos, baring in mind only one person at a time can go on bridge as its very wobbly. However photos are wonderful. After the photos we jumped from the bridge into the lovely waters (but we got stung a few times by the jellyfish so be careful) On way back instead of walking we ordered an uber which cost us £6. Would highly recommend doing this if you can find it. For video - Instagram - aarron_oneill - Tiktok - aarronlewis

the Town Hall is next to the Augustus Temple, both in the Forum, and still the heart of the old town for daily life, after 2000 years!

On our family stroll around Pula on afternoon recently we came across this impressive Roman Triumphal arch purely by accident. Once again we were thrilled to see that such architectural masterpieces have survived the rigours of time. This one, apparently erected a couple of decades before Christ, celebrates some of the Sergii family, notably Lucius Sergius Lepidus. He fought against Mark Anthony and Cleopatra of Egypt in the sea Battle of Actium in the Ionian Sea, north west of Greece (near Preveza today). Monumental sea battles in the Ionian Sea a few millennia ago seem a far cry from the gentle entrance to the quaint, old town on Pula in the 21st century. Amazing really.
