Pula Attractions

 
Pula (Pola) is known as a lively community with good restaurants and cultural events, due largely to the fact that the town is home to a university. Pula is also one of the main economic and industrial hubs in this region. However, this port town is not one of the more visually appealing towns along the coast and does not have a beach. Despite this the town has many upper end hotels and attracts many visitors. The main attractions here are the Roman ruins, in particular the Pula Amphitheatre. During the Roman era the town was called Colonia Julia Pollentia Herculanea. Pula can also be used as a base for exploring the nearby by islands of Brijuni National Park.
