Pula Favorites

Favorite thing: I felt that the central building, with its pale yellow front, the triangular pediments of the windows and the pale grey columns with their orange top, gave with the pastel orange building on its left and the mouse grey building on its right an harmonious sight.

Favorite thing: The huge natural bay called Ribarska koliba (Fishermen's cottage) is turned into Marina, one of the biggest and best organized in whole Adriatic. It is also nice beach resort, but since there are many motor boats there, I do not reccommend it. Instead, you can enjoy here in excellent seafood which offers restaurant "Valsabbion", one of the best seafood restaurants on the Adriatic.

Favorite thing: The seashore around the town is over 150 km long. There are plenty of splendid natural beach resorts in the town like Stoja, Valkane, Lungomare Ribarska koliba or Punta Verudela, which can be seen on this picture. The sea-water is very clear and clean, fully recommendable for all kind of beach activities.

Favorite thing: 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.

Favorite thing: Arena, the Roman amphitheatre, is the emblem of Pula. It is situated in the centre of the town, very close to the port and in the walking distance from all other historical sights of Pula. The building is very well preserved and is considered as one of the best preserved, of a kind, in whole the world.

Favorite thing:
The best known and most valuable ancient monument is to be sure the Arena, the majestic colloseum dating from the second century, the sixth largest in the world.

Being inside the Colloseum gives you a special feeling. You can feel the history.

Favorite thing:
Of course, the city's main attraction is the Collosseum. One of the best preserved and 6th largest in the world, it's a real beauty for the eye.

Fondest memory:
Standing in the middle of the collosseum and spin arround, thinking of the plays but also bloody games .

Favorite thing:
You can make a photo with the 'gladiators' in front of the Colloseum. Probably they charged some money to do that .. they have to earn money somehow, now that they don't have Romans to fight for :)
