Pula
Pula, with 51,469 inhabitants (as of 2021), is the largest city in the Croatian county of Istria. The city lies near the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula and belongs to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Poreč-Pula.
The city of Pula is located in the northern Adriatic Sea, at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula, at an average elevation of approximately 30 meters. Surrounded by seven hills, Pula lies in a wide bay directly opposite the Brijuni Islands. The border with Slovenia is about 85 kilometers north of the city. Venice, Italy, is about 182 kilometers away by ferry.
One of the main attractions and the city's landmark is the Pula Amphitheater, which was built under Emperor Augustus and expanded under Emperor Vespasian. Measuring 133 meters by 105 meters, it could accommodate approximately 23,000 people, making it one of the largest amphitheaters built by the Romans. The facade, largely preserved to its original height of 32.5 meters, is now considered to be Augustan in origin.
Another well-preserved Roman monument is the Arch of the Sergii, built between 29 and 27 BC to commemorate Octavian's victory at the Battle of Actium. Also worth seeing are the Temple of Augustus (2 BC to 14 AD) and the Archaeological Museum of Istria (AMI), with its twin-gate Porta Gemina providing access to the museum's main building.
