Pula

Pula is the largest city of Croatia’s Istria County, located at the southern tip of the peninsula. Its architecture is mainly Roman-inspired, as Istria was once part of the Roman Empire. Some of its most notable historical landmarks include the Pula Arena, one of the largest surviving Roman amphitheaters; and the Temple of Augustus, a well-preserved Roman temple.

The city has a long tradition of wine-making, dating back to the ancient Romans. It is also known for its seafood, especially its squid and cuttlefish dishes.

Pula is a popular tourist destination, due to its many historical landmarks and its Mediterranean climate. The city is also home to a number of universities and colleges, making it a hub for education in Croatia.
