Amazing history, culinary and cultural trip

Oct 2016

Pula, Croatia is a gem in the Adriatic sea. The historic places are well preserved, even though guided tours are sketchy you can get a good sense of the place. A mix of Roman, Byzantine and renaissance architecture are the perfect frame for your family, couples or solo trip. You can find food in almost every corner, very good and well priced. Stick around the City Hall for a fabulous a-capella performance of traditional Croat music.

Nice open air space for pictures, walking and eating

Oct 2016 • Couples

The Town Hall (Forum) is right next to the Temple of Augustus in the main square of the Old Town of Pula, and there are many restaurants around that offer all types of meals for different prices.
It is worth spending a few more kuna just to enjoy the nice atmosphere of the square.

Nice Building

Sep 2016 • Couples

The Town Hall, a Venetian style building, stands next to the Temple of Augustus in the main city square, the Forum. Even today, the Forum is the administrative and legislative centre of the town. It is worth spending some time at the Forum, a rather nice square surrounded by restaurants and cafes

Dominates an Expansive Square - once the Roman Forum

Sep 2016 • Friends

The Town Hall is built in the Venetian taste and dominates the site of what was once the ancient Roman forum. The square is quite large and is full of life with multiple cafes and restaurants to keep locals and tourists alike busy. At one time the Town Hall was flanked by a pair of 1st century Roman temples. The Temple of Augustus remains intact, but the second temple was incorporated into the Town Hall and remains of the structure can be seen in back of it.

Take some time to savor the atmosphere in this square - delightful. Enjoy!

Gorgeous old building

Jun 2016 • Couples

This building is in the square near the Forum, surrounded by cafes and restaurants. It is an imposing building and whilst there we were lucky enough to see a wedding take place.

This is an excellent place. We went during a festival and it was great. Surrounded by bars and restaurants added by the extremely friendly people of Pula this is a location not to be missed . Great historical value just one of many locations not to be missed

Be grateful!

Sep 2019 • Couples

This building sits in contrast to the Roman temple adjacent to it. The Venetians built very little in Pula and so a good example of one of their buildings is worth seeing. Apparently, the stones from the amphitheatre were taken away by the Venetians to be used in other towns. So we must be grateful for their investment in this lovely edifice.

Impressive Architecture

After going through the narrow streets of souvenirs and restaurants it is a delight to step into this delightful square with two balanced architectural gems from different periods of time - good place for photographs

The Communal Palace

May 2018 • Couples

The inscription in the facade (restored in the 16th century) dates the construction back to 1296 but proof has been found that it is older than that.
