With a history of more than 3 thousand years, the city has a long tradition of wine production, fishing, shipbuilding, and tourism. There is something for everyone. The number 1 tourist attraction here is the almost 2000-year-old Pula Arena. It is the only remaining Roman amphitheater with preserved four side towers and is among the world's six largest surviving Roman arenas. The maximum height of the outer wall is 29.40 m, and the entire arena could hold 23,000 spectators. Famous gladiatorial fights to the death took place on this site. Nowadays, the arena is used for concerts by favorite artists and has a capacity of approximately 5,000 spectators. In the old town, you will find many relics of the Roman legacy, but don't miss a visit to the more than 2,000-year-old Forum Square. Since the city's founding, this place has been a venue for public events, politics, religion, and commerce. To this day, especially during the summer, many cultural events are held here. There were several temples in the square, but only the temple of Augustus from about 14 AD has been perfectly preserved. Inside you can find Roman artifacts. Climb to the central hill of Pula, which has been the focal point of settlement development since its earliest history. Today it is dominated by a massive 17th-century Baroque fortress built by the Venetians, who took over Pula in 1331 and ruled the city until 1797. The Castle was always an important defensive point for Venetian control of the Adriatic. Today the complex houses the Historical and Maritime Museum of Istria. Take a kayak tour, one of the best ways to explore the crystal blue waters of the Adriatic around Pula and south Istria. Discover beaches and caves you would probably never find alone. Whether you are looking for ideal snorkeling spots, want to try cliff-jumping, or enjoy the beautiful nature of the Mediterranean coast. ► CLICK the SUBSCRIBE button for more interesting clips: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqcjI1_Z0OMbdSvONoYsGhg/?sub_confirmation=1 #pula #croatia #TourAndTravel
