A must visit Pula Roman Amphitheater.



The Pula Roman Amphitheater, also known as the Pula Arena, is one of the most well-preserved ancient Roman amphitheaters in the world and the sixth-largest of its kind. Located in Pula, Croatia, it was built in the 1st century AD during the reign of Emperor Vespasian, around the same time as the Colosseum in Rome.



The amphitheater could seat around 20,000 spectators** and was originally used for gladiatorial contests, public spectacles, and other forms of entertainment such as animal hunts. Its elliptical shape, towering limestone walls, and 72 arches are striking architectural features. Unlike many Roman amphitheaters, the Pula Arena has remained remarkably intact, with all four side towers still standing.



Today, the arena is a major tourist attraction and serves as a venue for modern events, including concerts, festivals, and even the renowned Pula Film Festival, where movies are screened under the stars within the ancient walls.



The amphitheater’s fusion of ancient history with modern culture makes it a captivating place to visit and an ideal setting for stories blending the past with the present.
