Roman Pula: Pula itinerary

Walk the 2,000-year-old core

8 stops · Pula

Pula was Pietas Julia, a Roman colony that left an arena, a temple and a triumphal arch standing among the cafes. Following them from the amphitheatre down to the forum, you've traced two thousand years of a city built on the same stones.
