Rome or Vienna? Or the unique Pula after all

Pula's foremost claim to fame is its Arena, a Roman amphitheater constructed durign the first century CE. One of the best-preserved amphitheaters in the world, once the stage for cruel gladiatorial fights, is today the site of the Pula Film Festival. Its summer sky roof and massive stone remains have also served as a backdrop to numerous global music acts.

Founded 3000 years ago, Pula is fit to take you straight to ancient Rome. The city's central square, the Forum, will show you the city as it once was. It stands surrounded by temples, the City Hall and the Golden Gate, a triumphal arch built in honor of the Roman family Sergia.

Some neighborhoods of Pula, on the other hand, take you straight to Vienna. Being the chief harbor of the Austro-Hungarian navy, Pula was bedecked, throughout the nineteenth century, with Vienese Secession-style villas. Among them, the once-elite Casa Trapp is the standout because of its incredible, movie history.

Pula Riviera – prehistory hidden in idyllic villages

Banjole, Štitnjan and Pješčana Uvala (the meaning of the name being Sandy Cove) are villages on the Pula Riviera which lull the visitor into the extremes of tranquility and relaxation through their slow-moving rhythms.

The villages' hilly hinterland holds onto the fragments of the Pula Riviera's past, each of which contributes to the mosaic of historical events which transpired in these parts. Bumbište hill is dotted with tumuli – the mound-like graves of the area's prehistoric denizens – and Vintijan peak is crowned by a massive Illyrian hillfort, the largest in the Riviera, and most probably the largest in Istria.

A scuba diver's paradise coupled with traditional seafood cuisine, is the motto of Banjole town. Pješčana Uvala likewise contributes to Pula Riviera's fine dining prestige by having as many as two restuarants regularly listed among Croatia's finest.
