Main sights in Pula

Church of Rome and Augustus

Its construction started in the second-century b. C. following the example of the Mars church in Rome. It was seriously damaged through bomb attacks in World War 2, but now it is again open for visits after restoration and a statue collection can be found in it.

Kastel

In this castle built on a hill, the history museum of Istria can be found. But it’s not only worth visiting for the museum but also for the view.

Aquarium

Already its location is special, it is located in the building of an old fortress, Fort Verudela. Watching sea animals and turtles will surely be a great experience for children.
