This is the city which represents the connection between holiday on the beautiful coast with crystal clear seawater, and the legends and marks of a successful past.

Unpolluted forests and coastlines, with clearly perfect beaches and moderate climate are important characteristics for those who prefer a holiday at the seaside.

The coastline of Pula represents connects the green color of the land and the blue sea into a landscape enormously beautiful with rocky, sandy bays: a real temptation for swimming and diving in their limpid waters.

The abundant nature in this area is truly unique to the Adriatic Sea, and much of the flora and fauna are under environmental protection.

Being one of the best preserved amphitheaters in the world, Arena of Pula has often been the subject of study by many famous artists and in particular architects, as were the renowned Sebastiano Serlio and Andrea Palladio.
Today amphitheater is being visited by numerous tourists from all over the world. It is the place where opera, concerts and pop-concerts of the world's most famous pop-singers, as well as the traditional film festival are held during the summer time.
