Highlights
When visiting Pula you can't skip the beautiful Arena. It is one of the most important monuments in Croatia that has to be visited. Do you know that it was built at the and of one known Roman road? and that it is considered to be one of the oldest in the world! During Roman times there were around 260-ties Arenas like this one around the Mediterranean. Gladiators were professional fighters that had to follow strict rules. Their diet was very curious. But do you know the way their wounds were treated? And what was the reward for a winner? About this topic and more on my tour.

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.
