Pula is famous for its ancient Roman buildings: the Temple of Augustus, the Arch of the Sergii, and, most famously, the Pula Arena, one of the best preserved ancient Roman amphitheaters. These structures are truly remarkable. But, in the spirit of this blog, I mention them only briefly, because even without them there is a lot to see in the largest town of Istria. So, instead, we will learn about Venetian, Habsburg, and Italian rule, and trace the impressions they left on Pula’s streets.
