Daily life
Pula sits at the southern tip of Croatia's Istrian peninsula on the Adriatic coast, a historic Roman port city. Its landmark is Pula Arena, an amphitheatre built between 27 BC and AD 68, ranked among the best-preserved in the world and the only one with all four corner towers intact. Other Roman remains include the Temple of Augustus, the Arch of the Sergii, and the Gate of Hercules, the city's oldest gate. Daily life unfolds along narrow lanes lined with harbor cafés and fishing boats.
