Review:

Despite being the largest city in Istria, Pula has managed to retain a friendly small-town charm. The city is jam-packed with well-preserved Roman architecture, the highlight of which is the large amphitheater located right in the middle of the city. The three-story structure towers over the nearby buildings, and is often used to host concerts, mock gladiator fights, film screenings, and other special events. Other notable sights include the Temple of Augustus, the 1st-century Hercules Gate, and the Triumphal Arch of the Sergii; these can easily be seen by taking one of the hop-on/hop-off bus tours offered in the summer months.
