Grad Pula's Unmissable Treasures

Pula’s urban landscape is defined by its Roman heritage, centered around the 1st-century Arena and the Temple of Augustus on the Forum. Beyond its ancient roots, the city showcases a complex military history through its 17th-century Venetian fortress and a network of Austro-Hungarian coastal batteries like Fort Marie Louise. This collection spans from the 3rd-century "Punishment of Dirce" mosaic to the 18th-century bell tower of the Cathedral, offering a dense concentration of archaeological sites and maritime museums within this historic Istrian port.
