Arch of the Sergii, Roman triumphal arch in Pula, Croatia.

The limestone structure features Corinthian columns, detailed carvings of war chariots, cupids, garlands, and winged victories in the spandrels of the western facade.

Constructed between 29 and 27 BC, the arch commemorates three members of the Sergii family, with Salvia Postuma Sergia financing its construction after the Battle of Actium.

The arch marks the entrance to Pula's old town, serving as a testament to Roman engineering and architectural techniques from the late Hellenistic period.

The monument stands near numerous restaurants and shops, making it an excellent starting point for exploring the historical center of Pula on foot.

The eastern side of the arch remains largely uncarved as it leaned against the original city wall, while the western facade displays intricate decorative elements.
