Stele di Nora

Pula, also known as Pola, its Italian name, is the largest city in Istria County, western Croatia, and the seventh-largest city in the country, situated at the southern tip of the Istrian peninsula in western Croatia, with a population of 52,220 in 2021. It is known for its multitude of ancient Roman buildings, the most famous of which is the Pula Arena, one of the best preserved Roman amphitheaters. The city has a long tradition of wine making, fishing, shipbuilding, and tourism. It was the administrative centre of Istria from ancient Roman times until superseded by Pazin in 1991.

One of the most notable attractions in Pula is the ancient Roman amphitheater, which dates back to the 2nd century AD. This impressive structure is one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world and is a must-see for anyone visiting the town.

In addition to the amphitheater, Pula is also home to a number of other historic landmarks, including the ruins of the ancient city of Nora. This archaeological site is located just outside of the town and offers visitors the chance to explore the remains of a once-great city that dates back to the 8th century BC.
