The centre of the city has some lovely pedestrianised streets. Giardini with its central walkway shaded by two lines of trees is a good place to stop and have a coffee or an ice cream and get a feel for mornings in Pula. Fortified by a sinfully delicious gelato we carried on to Portorata with its Roman triumphal arch and decided to go left rather than right. Here is Ul Flanaticka a very busy shopping street but its sides were lined with outdoor cafes and people lingering over their morning coffee. To me, the whole atmosphere of downtown Pula seemed overwhelmingly Italian and the people seemed really in tune with La Dolce Vita. Though I'm referring to all the streets by their Croatian names, they felt more like vias than ulicas. This Italian feeling was epecially strong when we left the market and went through the arch into Ul Sergijevaca. I suppose it's not hard to understand, the Romans and Venetians having ruled here for so many years, but I had to keep reminding myself that I was in Croatia and not in Italy. But Croatian these streets are and they are definitely very pleasurable to linger in. In fact I got so relaxed in the pedestrianised zone, I almost forgot to check out the Forum and the Temple of Augustus.
Eversince the Roman times, Pula was strategicaly important place because of its huge natural harbour bay which protects boats in case of bad weather conditions.
There is an beautiful park in the town, right in front of the Arena, and the part of it makes Riva with palm-trees. It is one of the favorite promenade area, especially for moms and their newborn children.
The central part of the amphiteatre is the fighting area, the so-called arena, and 67,90 meters by 41,60 meters in size. During games it was covered with sand in order to remove the traces of the blood of the fighters and slaughtered animals, hence ("harena"=sand) the name of the fighting area, and even the whole building.
Once home, I was again unable to identify this picture and again, I have to thank Boris that identified it for me and gave me the following comment.
The belfry, right next to the Kastel, belongs to the Franciscan church. It is the highest in town.
