10 Things to do in Pula, Croatia Travel Guide Video Transcript: (Pola)
Pula was our first introduction to Croatia and what a way to start! Located on the Istrian peninsula, this seaside town is home to Roman ruins, ancient temples, and some delicious pizza. The town won us over right from day one, so in this video, we’re going to take you on a tour of Pula and show you some of the highlights:
The amphitheatre was built during the reign of Emperor Vespasian, at the same time the Colosseum in Rome was going up. What’s even more shocking is how well preserved it is; this is the only remaining Roman amphitheatre with all four side towers and three stories still standing.
As a travel tip, if you visit during the summer months, you can catch numerous events at the amphitheatre, including concerts, movie screenings, and even reenactments of games from Ancient Rome.
When it comes to boat tours, the most popular destination is , a group of small islands that sit out on the Adriatic Sea.
The islands have a few archaeological and cultural sites but though admission to the park used to be free, these days you have to join one of the official excursions arranged by the park or local tourist agencies.
As for Pula Cathedral, it turns out it was closed when we tried to visit, so we can only show you the outside.
After all that wandering around town, it was finally time for lunch. We arrived at Jupiter Pizzeria just as they were opening and didn’t waste any time grabbing a seat on their outdoor terrace.
The fortress we spotted turned out to be Pula Castle, also known as Kaštel. Located atop a hill right in the centre of Pula, this fortress was built by the Venetians during the 17th century.
Admission was 20 kuna per person and there were two different museums exhibits to visit, however, we’d argue that the main draw are the views.
Over the course of the centuries, the Temple of Augustus has seen many uses from a Christian church to a grain storehouse, but at present, it houses a very small 1-room museum – and when we say small, we mean you can visit in 5 minutes!
The Roman Mosaic is just a short walk from the Forum, so it’s worth the little detour down back streets. This incredible well-preserved floor depicts the Punishment of Dirce, which is straight out of Greek mythology.

U nastavku opis najpoznatijih plaža na području Pule ( I DIO ):
GORTANOVA UVALA ( pješčana i stjenovita plaža) nalazi se ispod šetališta Lungomare. Nije prevelika pa je često ispunjena brojnim kupačima. Kupanje preko dana može se nastaviti i u noć, posebice ako su za to raspoloženi mladi koji se često znaju okupljati s gornje strane uvale.
SACCORGIANA ( manji dio pješčane plaže ) sljedeće je mjesto koje je često odredište kupača. Visoki mol omogućuje onima željnim adrenalina skokove u vodu, a obližnja nudistička plaža zaklonjena gustim mediteranskim raslinjem omogućuje dobar zaklon za malo manje hrabre kupače. Dio prema apartmanima je predviđena plaža za pse.
AMBRELA (šljunčana) vjerojatno je jedna od najpopularnijih pulskih plaža za djecu, vjerojatno zbog plićaka koji omogućuje blagi ulazak u vodu i kamenih oblutaka na plaži te uređenosti same plaže i kupališta. Poznato kupalište je uvijek naravno krcato brojnim turistima koji se odmaraju u hotelima na Verudeli i domaćim ljudima koji preferiraju ovakav tip plaže. Pored Ambrele nalazi se plaža pod hotelom Brioni. Skrivene plaže pretežno stjenovite naći ćete između Havajske i Ambrele.
HAVAJSKO (pješčana) je popularan naziv za uvalu Procipinu na poluotoku Verudeli. Plaža se nalazi odmah ispod hotela Park. Zbog svoje male veličine, gotovo uvijek je krcata kupačima, koji su često mlađe dobi često željni uživanja u visokim valovima po čemu je plaža vjerojatno dobila ime.
KOD SVJETIONIKA (stjenovita plaža) sljedeća je popularna plaža s koje se može pristupiti u more kroz plićak s jedne strane ili sa stijena s druge strane. Zanimljivost plaže je mali greben popularno zvan Jabuka na kojem se može odmoriti ne više od troje ljudi. Lijevo od svjetionika je predviđena plaža za pse.

from Wikipedia: Pula (pronounced [pǔːla]; Latin: Colonia Pietas Iulia Pola Pollentia Herculanea; Italian and Istro-Romanian: Pola; Slovenian and Chakavian: Pulj, German: Polei, Ancient Greek: Πόλαι, Polae) is the largest city in Istria County, Croatia, situated at the southern tip of the Istria peninsula, with a population of 62,080 (2006). Like the rest of the region, it is known for its mild climate, smooth sea, and unspoiled nature. The city has a long tradition of winemaking, fishing, shipbuilding, and tourism. Pula has also been Istria's administrative center since ancient Roman times. In classical antiquity, it was inhabited by the Histri,[8] a Venetic or Illyrian tribe recorded by Strabo in the 1st century AD The Istrian peninsula was conquered by the Romans in 177 BC,[8] starting a period of Romanization. The town was elevated to colonial rank between 46--45 BC as the tenth region of the Roman Empire, under Julius Caesar.[8][9] During that time the town grew and had at its zenith a population of about 30,000. It became a significant Roman port with a large surrounding area under its jurisdiction. During the civil war of 42 BC of the triumvirate of Octavian, Mark Antony and Lepidus against Caesar's assassins Brutus and Cassius, the town took the side of Cassius, since the town had been founded by Cassius Longinus, brother of Cassius. After Octavian's victory, the town was demolished. It was soon rebuilt at the request of Octavian's daughter Iulia and was then called Colonia Pietas Iulia Pola Pollentia Herculanea'. Great classical constructions were built of which a few remain. A great amphitheatre, Pula Arena was constructed between 27 BC -- 68 AD,[10] much of it still standing to this day. The Romans also supplied the city with a water supply and sewage systems. They fortified the city with a wall with ten gates. A few of these gates still remain: the triumphal Arch of the Sergii, the Gate of Hercules (in which the names of the founders of the city are engraved) and the Twin Gates. During the reign of emperor Septimius Severus the name of the town was changed into Res Publica Polensis. In 354 AD the town was the site of Gallus Caesar's execution. In 425 AD the town became the centre of a bishopric, attested by the remains of foundations of a few religious buildings. In 1813, Pula (with Istria) was restored to the Austrian Empire. Until 1918, the town (under the Italian name Pola) remained in the Austria side after the compromise of 1867), head of the district of the same name, one of the 11 Bezirkshauptmannschaften in the Austrian Littoral province. During this period Pula regained prosperity. From 1859 Pula's large natural harbour became Austria's main naval base and a major shipbuilding centre.[18][19] It was chosen for this honour by Hans Birch Dahlerup, a Danish admiral in the service of Austria.[16] The city transformed from a small city with a fading antique splendour into an industrial town. The island of Brijuni to the south of Pula became the summer vacation resort of Austria's Habsburg royal family. In World War I, the port was the main base for Austro-Hungarian dreadnoughts and other naval forces of the Empire. During this period many inhabitants were Italian speaking. The 1910 Austrian census recorded a city population of 58,562 (45.8% Italian speaking; 15.2% Slavic).[20] However, this census focused on the spoken language, not the self declared ethnicity of the citizens. Following the collapse of the Austria-Hungary in 1918, Pula and the whole of Istria -- except the territory of Kastav -- were given to Italy under the peace treaty.[19] Pula (Pola) became the capital of the Province of Pola. The decline in population after World War I was mainly due to economic difficulties caused by the large-scale reduction of the Austro-Hungarian military and bureaucratic facilities and the dismissal of workers from its shipyard. Under the Italian Fascist government of Benito Mussolini, non-Italians, especially Slavic residents, faced huge political and cultural repression and many fled the city and Istria altogether. The German army entered to fill the vacuum left by retreating Italian soldiers. The whole city became part of Küstenland, the occupied zone under the Third Reich.[23] During German military rule (1943--1945), Pula was integrated into the Operational Zone Adriatic Coast, a German occupation zone. The city then saw a very difficult period: arrests, deportations and executions of people suspected of helping the Partisans' guerilla struggle. Pula was a German u-boat base from 1942--1944. The city is best known for its many surviving ancient Roman buildings, the most famous of which is its 1st-century amphitheatre, which is among the six largest surviving Roman arenas in the world. and locally known as the Arena. This is one of the best preserved amphitheatres from antiquity and is still in use today during summer film festivals.
