O que fazer em Pula

This mesmerizing seaside city on the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula has been a hub of civilization since Roman times. Having been founded by the Histri, an ancient Illyrian Istrian tribe, Pula's earliest permanent settlement record dates back to the 10th century BC and the city has been associated with the Colchians since its establishment. Pula, which was known by Greek passengers and sailors, came under Roman control in 177 BC. It was eventually elevated to the colonial level between 46 - 45 BC. During this period, Pula flourished, reaching a population of 30,000 and becoming an important Roman port with a large surrounding area under its administration. The city, complete with a Roman Forum, is home to many Roman remains, the most notable being the first-century Roman amphitheater characterized by outstanding engineering and construction techniques. Additionally, the city has a deep centuries-old tradition of olive oil and wine making.
