    Slavoluk obitelji Sergi (Sergius arch) was built at the end of the first century AD. It is also called Portarata (Golden door). Three rich local citizens called Sergius, in order to honor their memory for centuries, have built this arch.

    Amphitheater
  • Tip Rating:
  • Promoted as the most complete Roman amphitheater, that may only apply to its external walls. The interior suffered the common transformations of most Croatian monuments, and shows almost nothing of its original structure. Smaller than his brother, in Rome, it is a magnificent building, deserving the quick visit that everybody does.

    St. Maria Formosa
  • Tip Rating:
  • Originally from the 6th century, escaping from demolitions and bombs, this small chapel, standing beside a small garden that occupies the area of a quarter erased in WW2, was built in Ravenna's style. It seems that it had some rich mosaics that were moved to the Archaeological Museum of Istria.

    Side passages from ulica Sergijvaca are all quiet but each has a personality of its own. In some, like this one, people living in these houses have invaded the street which is their summer living-room, in the same way that they do in remote cities of central Istria !

    1st century ampitheatre
  • Tip Rating:
  • for history and archeology buffs its exciting to follow the romans around europe - that they were even way down into croatia impressed us -

    the ampitheatre in Pula is a good size too -

    didnt cost much and we enjoyed the roam around inside.

    The Town Hall
  • Tip Rating:
  • The City Palace (Town-hall) was built in the Middle Ages on the north side of the Forum, in the space where the central temple and the temple of Diana once stood.
    In the time of the free city commune, it was the symbol of communal autonomy, while later ut was the seat of the Venetian proveditor. It has been the seat of the city administration from 19th century until today.
    It was altered on several occasions, and various levels can be observed; from the Romanesque and all the way to Baroque. It recived the greatest part of the present-day dimensions with a thorough reconstruction in 1296.

    Amphitheater: 7.30-21.00 15KN students 8KN. From the bus station
    head west Itarska for 100 m. This is one of the great Roman ruins still
    intact today, and perhaps Croatia's most popular tourist attraction after
    Dubrovnik. Built when the Romans settled here around 1AD, this
    Amphitheater (like the colleseum) housed gladiator contests and other
    events. Today, top music artists such as Sting and U2 play inside of
    it. Italian tourists love to see what their forefathers had made. This is a
    must see. Highly Rec

    The Forum:10.00-13.00, 14.00-18.00 6KN. From the bus station, head
    east on Istarska for 200 m, then head south on Sergievaca which runs
    into the Forum The Arch of the Sergians built in 29BC is the entrance
    to Sergijevaca, a tiny scobble stoned street full of ice cream shops
    and souveneir shops. At night time many painters and performers
    appear and entertain the tourists and the young locals. This leads to
    the Forum, a small square thats holds the Temple of Augustus, a
    pillared type structure built in 2BC.

    Sergio's Arch
  • Tip Rating:
  • The triumphal Sergio's arch was built shortly before Christ's birth in Corinthian style. Today, it gives expression to the central square, and shopping streets.
