The Temple of Augustus in Pula is a well-preserved Roman temple on the central square of the city, the Forum. It was dedicated to the goddess Roma and the emperor Augustus, and was built between the year 2 BC and the year 14, when Augustus died.
The double gate in Pula is one of the ten gates that once provided access to the Roman city of Pola. They were built in the 2nd century and have two arches with three half-columns and a relief cornice.
The Small Roman Theater in Pula is an ancient Roman theater built in the 1st century AD on the eastern slope of the central hill of the old city core.
The Basilica of Maria Formosa in Pula was an early Christian church built in the 6th century under the influence of Byzantine architecture. Today, only the southern chapel in the shape of a Greek cross, which is located in the south of the old town, remains of it.

About Rovinj
Rovinj is an Istrian fishing town on a small peninsula, with a hilltop church, Venetian-style houses and a coast of islets and pine forest.
Rovinj's old town stands on an oval peninsula, once an island, with narrow cobbled lanes winding up to the baroque church of St Euphemia, whose bell tower, modelled on St Mark's in Venice, rises above the sea. Pastel houses crowd around the harbour, and the Balbi Arch marks one of the old gates. Venice ruled the town for five centuries, and Italian remains in daily use beside Croatian.
