Aleja pinija

Aleja pinija is a tree tunnel in Pula formed by two rows of mature pine trees whose branches intertwine overhead to create continuous green coverage along the entire route. The pathway runs straight through with dense foliage filtering sunlight and creating a shaded corridor.

The alley was planted in 1905 during the Austro-Hungarian era when Pula was reshaping its public green spaces. This planting was part of broader urban landscaping efforts that transformed the city's appearance during that period.

Local residents use the tree tunnel regularly for walking, jogging, and gathering with friends and family throughout the seasons. The shaded path has become woven into the daily rhythm of life in this part of the city.

The tree canopy keeps conditions comfortable year-round, providing cooler temperatures in summer and shelter from rain. The wide pathway is accessible for both walking and cycling with easy navigation along its straight route.

The pine trees create geometric light patterns through their densely woven canopy that shift throughout the day as the sun moves. These natural shadow effects make the tunnel a favorite spot for photographers seeking visual composition.
