Pula: Live view of the Forum and the Tample of Augustus
Tucked along the Adriatic coast, Pula is a place whose character is shaped by its long life as an Istrian port and Roman settlement. Its Forum remains the civic heart of the old town, laid out beside the harbour where the Roman colony once conducted public business. On the square stands the Temple of Augustus, dedicated to Rome’s first emperor and among the best-preserved Roman temples outside Italy. The adjoining Communal Palace incorporates Roman remains behind its arcaded façade, showing how later civic life grew into the ancient centre. Pula’s Roman amphitheatre, one of the city’s defining monuments, is also close by. Cafés, municipal buildings and stone-paved lanes keep the Forum part of daily urban life rather than an isolated archaeological site.

Pula has served as a port city in Istria since Roman times. On Croatia’s Adriatic coast, its protected harbour at the southern tip of the Istrian Peninsula has long connected the city with seafaring and trade. The Pula Arena, a 1st-century Roman amphitheatre, is among the best-preserved monuments of its kind and still hosts concerts and the Pula Film Festival. The Temple of Augustus on the Forum recalls the Roman urban core, while Austro-Hungarian fortifications reflect Pula’s later naval importance.
