Pula – Pola – Istria – Croatia

Pula (Pola in Italian) is the largest city in Istria, western Croatia, located on southern tip of the Istrian peninsula. Pula was once an Austro-Hungarian Empire major naval base. Nowadays, it is an important Croatian port and an industrial center being something in between a busy working port and active Istrian Riviera town. The Romans captured Pula in 178 B.C. where they built the most amazing and well-known Pula amphitheater, which remains are still used as Pula`s summer stage for various opera and pop performances, as well as for well-known Pula Film Festival, that is hosted there since 1953. The Pula amphitheater (arena in Croatian) was built at the end of first century B.C. It is sixth largest amphitheater in the world, with capacity of 22 000 people. Outer shell is almost complete, while inside seats are just partly remaining. During the history, Pula was destroyed by Augustus, but was rebuilt by him and named Pietas Julia. Pula was taken by the Venice Republic in 1148, and 200 years later overtaken and destroyed by Genovese.The Venetians continued to rule Pula until the Treaty of Campo Formio (1797) when Pula was transferred to Austro-Hungarian Empire. The city was surrender to Italy after World War I. Since the World War II, Pula belongs to Croatia, then one of the Yugoslav republics. As far as holiday in Pula is concerned, Pula offers various options for a nice holiday.

Hotels and apartments are spread out throughout and around the city of Pula as well in smaller neighboring places. Many tourist facilities are located outside of the city on the various beaches that stretch along 100km of the Istiran peninsula coastline so one can chose among the wide range of swimming spots. Just outside of the city center, there are good swimming spots of Verudela, Stoja and Lungo Mare.

A unique experience will be moments of relaxation in the main town square, which has managed to retain its role as the meeting place since the Augustan Age.

Today Pula offers a variety of excellent opportunities for tourists. Together with well-equipped hotels and other types of accommodation facilities, the tourist offer includes many sports grounds, recreational facilities and entertainment programs, terraces with live music, discotheques, casinos, inns and restaurants, as well as diverse excursions. The town disposes of two marinas, so that yachting tourism is increasingly developing. Pula is also a well-known congress centre (the large congress hall in Hotel Histria). The town can be reached by various means of transport, and there is an airport in the immediate vicinity of Pula (6 km), constructed to meet the requirements of international air traffic.
