Pula, a charming town boasting Roman ruins

Pula is the capital of Istria, a peninsula in the north of Croatia near the Italian border.  

Pula is a super charming small town full of beautiful beaches and awesome nightlife. It is known for its protected harbor, beach-lined coast and Roman ruins. 

Its architecture is mainly Roman-inspired, as Istria was conquered by the Romans in the 177 BC.

Many travelers visit Pula for a multitude of ancient Roman buildings. 

The most famous attraction here is the well-preserved, magnificent amphitheater, the Pula Arena.
Much of the structure is still standing, making it as impressive as the famous Roman Colosseum, but without the crowds!

The city also has a long tradition of winemaking, fishing, shipbuilding and tourism.
