Pula, Port city in Istria, Croatia
The city occupies a strategic position at the southern edge of the Istrian peninsula, featuring a natural harbor and naval facilities along the Adriatic Sea.
Romans established control of the settlement in 177 BCE, transforming it into a vital colonial center with the construction of numerous monumental buildings.
The Pula Arena, completed in 80 CE, stands as a complete Roman amphitheater with limestone walls reaching 30 meters high and space for 23,000 spectators.
The central bus terminal connects travelers to destinations across Croatia and Europe, while the airport serves multiple European cities with regular flights.
The Temple of Augustus near the ancient forum maintains its original dedicatory inscription and Corinthian columns from the first century BCE.
