Pula / Pola is the biggest town of the Croatian county of Istria, with about 62,000 inhabitants. It is located near the most southern point of the Istrian peninsula. Already in ancient Roman times, it was an administative center of the region. In September 2013, I made a short trip to Pula / Pola with my wife and two friends and took the following photos. As it was very hot, we only visited the Roman arena and its near surroundings. Shame on us but we couldn't suffer the heat...
