Why it is worth your time
Built in the nineteenth century as a coastal fort of the war harbour, Fort Verudela now houses the Pula Aquarium. Where soldiers once stood guard, sea creatures from the Adriatic and more distant waters drift through tanks set into the old casemates. The blend of cool fortress stone and glowing underwater worlds makes the visit special.
Croatia Atlas tip
The aquarium runs a rescue centre for sea turtles; ask about its current patients.
