PULA, the chief and the largest town of Istria, like most Istrian towns its origin can be traced back to preantique earth work. More about its past is known only from the Roman time. Under the name of Colonia Julia Polentia Herculanea, which it bore during the time of emperors. Pula spread within protective walls which had several gateways. It acquired its basic urban layout with a forum, as a centre, town hall built between two temples, two theatres,a large amphitheatre and a necropolis.The population reached 25.000 – 30.000 during the empire.
Pula passed to the Ostrogoths after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, than the Slavs and Avars, and then became a part of the Frankish Empire which introduced the feudal system in Istria.
Under Venetians rule Pula prospered for a time, developing intensive maritime trade in oil,livestock, building stone, fur and the wool products.
During tihe Austrian domination (1797 – 1918) which was interupted from 1805 -1914, Pula at first started to stagnate,and in the begining of the 19th century had basely less than 1000 unhabitants.But when K-und K Monarchy began to build its chief naval harbour in it, Pula began rapidly to thrive.
Nowdays, Pula is a part of Istrian county and a part of of the Republic of Croatia.There are innumerable cultural and historical monumnets. The most impressive is the Roman Amphitheatre which is the sixth largest of all the surviving amphitheatres in the world, and one of the most beautiful ones in its simplicity and monumentallity, as well as other monuments, like Hercules gate, the Twin Gate of the city walls , the Sergi Arch, Roman Theatre, Kastel, Augustus Tempel, Town Hall and many others.
