Itinerary
This colosseum once served as the site of many gladiator fights in the middle ages with many of its passages and tools being reconstructed to showcase the lives of the people during its time. Nowadays, it serves as the venue for many different kinds of events for visitors to enjoy ranging from sports competitions, opera, concerts, and more. (Visit from outside)
Porta Gemina or the twin gate acts as a remnant of Pula's history for visitors to see and reminisce. The simple, yet harmonious gateway was built at the end of the 2nd century and was once used to be the entrance to the ancient theater the Romans built at that time.
Pula Cathedral is The Church of the Assumption of the Holy Virgin Mary. The oldest fragments of the building are dated on the 5th AD. Churches have been built on this site since the dawn of Christianity
Preserved to this day, The Temple of Augustus showcases relics of the past with its construction dedicated to the goddess Roma and Emperor Augustus. Visitors looking for an excellent sightseeing and photogenic place can find their time well worth spent visiting this temple.
For historians looking to see the traces of the past, this stylistically crafted arch was erected in 27 BC in the honor of Lucius Sergius Lepidus for the battle of Actium, one of the greatest naval engagements in history.

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.
