Pula (Pola in Italian) is a nice town at the tip of the Istrian peninsula, Croatia. Once a predominantly Italian city, Pola was occupied by Jugoslavia in 1945 and formamly annexed in 1947. At that time those Italians who had not already moved to Italy went into exile. Today there still is an italian minority and many locals speak Italian.

Amphitheatre

The most famous and important monument, the starting and ending point of every sightseeing - the Arena or Amphitheatre - the building where in ancient Rome gladiatorial fights were held, was built in the 1st century AD during the reign of the Emperor Vespasian, at the same time as the Colosseum in Rome.

It is oval in shape, about 130 metres long and about 100 metres wide. In the middle there is an even part - the arena, while the spectators could sit on the stone stairs-benches or stand in the gallery. It is believed the Amphiteatre could seat 20.000 spectators. Local limestone was used for its construction. In the Middle Ages it was the site of knight tournaments and fairs. Today it is used for summer performances - the Film Festival, Opera Season, Horse Festival, concerts, ... where about 5.000 spectators can come. The underground passages, once used by the gladiators, nowadays host a regular exhibition of viticulture and olive-growing in Istria in ancient times. Some of the exhibits are reconstruction of machines once used for the production of oil and wine (mills, presses, containers) and the amphorae used for storing and transporting oil and wine.

Montenegro Day Tour from Dubrovnik 12 hours

Montenegro Day Tour

Montenegro is one of the last undiscovered secrets, the country whose vast natural and spiritual assets refuse to fit into any commercial pattern. Exotic landscapes are not always distant and unapproachable. Only one hour car drive from Dubrovnik, Montenegro offers an unforgettable experience, exceptional natural beauty in combination with a rich history and culture. This is a land where the mountains descend almost directly into the sea creating a surreal atmosphere.

Enjoy the drive around the Kotor Bay with its numerous small settlements; make a stop in the Medieval Kotor to soak in the typical Mediterranean lifestyle; proceed up towards the mountains to visit Cetinje, (which once used to be the center town of the Montenegrin rulers); stroll around in Budva, (the ancient town which is today a lively tourist resort.) Montenegro is all this and much more!

IMPORTANT: Passport and relevant visa is required

Town square

The main square in ancient and medieval Pula is situated at the bottom of the town hill, in the western part of the town and near the sea. The shore where the Forum was constructed in the 1st century BC had to be embanked to get a larger space. The Forum served as the centre of government. It was the religious, administrative, legislative and legal centre .On the northern part of the Forum stood two identical temples and a central one dedicated to Jupiter, Juno and Minerva. Today only the Augustus Temple has been fully preserved while of the second temple only the back wall, built into the City Council in the 13th century, is visible. Antique remains of the Forum have been found during the construction of new buildings, the latest ones being "Agripina and her time" (1st century AD). The remains have been partially restored and are now exhibited in the bank built on the site. Still today the Forum is the administrative and legislative centre of the town. During the summer months numerous cultural performances take place in the square.
