About Pula

Pula is a port at the southern tip of Istria in Croatia, famous for a well-preserved Roman amphitheatre standing beside the harbour.

Pula's Roman amphitheatre, built in the first century AD, is among the best preserved in the world, with its outer walls standing on all sides, and concerts and film screenings are staged on the sand inside. Nearby stand the Temple of Augustus, the Arch of the Sergii and the Forum, reminders that Pula was an important Roman colony. Austro-Hungarian naval buildings add a later layer, and James Joyce taught English here in 1904 and 1905.
