Pula is a town and port in the south-western part of Istria. Situated in the inner part of a bay, divided by the islands of St. Catherine, St. Andrew and Uljanik into three port basins.
According to the size of the constructed coast and level of equipment, Pula is the most important and largest port in Istria, and the well-protected Pula Bay places it among the best natural harbors on the Adriatic.
Due to its size, exposed location, two accesses (the one directly from the sea and the other through the Fazana Strait), low coastline and easy construction of fortification systems, Pula Bay has a special strategic importance.
Pula is the economic center with a developed ship-building industry (Uljanik), textiles, metal industry and building trades, as well as, glass manufacturing. The importance of Pula as a traffic intersection in the whole Istria has particularly increased by the modernization of the airport. Situated on the main road (M2, E751), and connected with Divaca by a railroad.
Today Pula offers a variety of excellent opportunities for tourists. Together with well-equipped hotels and other types of accommodation facilities, the tourist offer includes many sports grounds, recreational facilities and entertainment programs, terraces with live music, discotheques, casinos, inns and restaurants, as well as diverse excursions.

Beaches:
The first public beach, Bagno Polese, for the citizens and tourists, located between the islet of Uljanik and the administration building on the coastal promenade, was opened in 1885. After that, two other beaches were constructed, "Sakordana" and the marine officers' beach on the islet of St. Peter, where men and women could swim at different times of the day.
Most of the beaches in Pula are rocky and pebbly. The coast/beach stretches for kilometers. Head out to Verudela peninsula 2 km south of the town centre where you'll find many rocky beaches.

Pula - History nad Cultural Heritage:
In the 13th century a fortified town, Kaštel, was built on top of the hill. The town walls were renovated in the 15th century, and in 1631 a new fortress (on the hill) was constructed.
From the second half of the 19th century a large number of utility (Arsenal) and representative buildings were built, predominantly in historic styles (the neo-classicist Admiralty, then the Officers' Casino, now the Center of the Croatian Patriotic War Soldiers).
The Roman Amphitheater (commonly called Arena), from the 1st and 2nd centuries, occupies a dominant position above the harbor. It has an elliptic ground-plan (132.45 x 105.10 m), the walls are 30.45 m high; it could seat 23,000 spectators. It is the world's sixth largest preserved amphitheater. The legend has it that it was built by Emperor Vespasian on the initiative of his Pula-born girl friend Cenida. In the 15th century the Venetians transported several stone seats from the Amphitheatre's interior to use them as building material for their palaces.
The Nymphaeum leads to the southwest, with a way branching off to the Twin Gate (Porta gemina) from the 2nd century; an inscription is built-in above the Gate. The Twin Gate leads to the Archaeological Museum of Istria, with a park, in which exhibits are placed. The ruins of the Roman theater, with preserved fragments of the orchestra and amphitheatrically arranged seats, are behind the Museum. A part of the town wall running from the Twin Gate to the Hercules' Gate (Porta Herculea, from the mid-1st c. BC) has been preserved; the Gate is crowned by the bearded head of Hercules. The richly adorned Triumphal Arch of the Sergi, erected some time after 31 BC near the inner part of the main town gate (Porta aurea, collapsed in 1829), is reached from the Portarata Square.
Arsenalska Street leads from the park to the church of Our Lady of the Sea, built between 1891 and 1898.
