Due to the Venetians reign over Pula for over 400 hundred years: some of their architecture still remains there until today. By far, the most notable is the magnificent Roman amphitheatre. Pula Arena boasts four side towers and is thus the largest of its kind. This is the best kept ancient monument in the entire country. It really is a work of art! Strolling around and through the amazing ancient arches, it won’t be long before your imagination runs wild just picturing all that would and could have happened in a place built over a thousand years ago. A village which appears to be suspended in midair as it is encompassed by candy floss esque clouds. It looks like something out of a fairytale, so magical and at the same time so mesmerising!
