Pula
Pula is located on the southern tip of the Istrian Peninsula in Croatia, along the coast of the Adriatic Sea,
making it a strategic and historically significant port city.
It is the largest city in Istria, a region known for its beautiful landscapes, Mediterranean climate,

and rich history, blending Roman, Venetian, and Austro-Hungarian influences.

Pula exudes a strong ancient Roman vibe due to its history as a key Roman colony and military port.
The Pula Arena, one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world, is the city's most famous landmark.

Pula is also a city where its ancient Roman heritage coexists with concrete-heavy buildings from the Yugoslav era, creating a unique and fascinating contrast in the urban landscape. This blend of ancient history and more recent industrial and socialist architecture forms a dynamic interaction, where centuries-old monuments stand alongside modern remnants of the 20th century.
Pula’s fusion of these two eras makes it a city of contrasts, where the past and present harmoniously coexist.
