Pula is one of the most significant ancient urban centres in Europe. Its symbol, the Pula Arena, is one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheatres, bringing together past and present through concerts by global stars, film festivals and gladiator battles. The Adriatic Sea surrounds the city on three sides, while three thousand years of history intertwine with vibrant contemporary life, exceptional gastronomy, natural beauty and world-class sporting and cultural events. Pula leaves a lasting impression.
