Day-trippers you are going to love this one. This is Pula's greatest history asset, and it will blow your mind. The grandiose Amphitheater, one of the largest in the world, was built during the 1st AD under the reign of Emperor Vespasian, at around the same time as the Colosseum in Rome. The ground plan is elliptical, the longer axis measuring about 130 m and the shorter one about 100 m. This huge and magnificent structure is assembled solely from local limestone and is known as the Pula Arena. Although it underwent a great deal of restoration work, the site can still seat 5,000 people and is used in summer as a venue for festivals and performances. But that's not all. Get to the underground passages, once used by gladiators, and visit a permanent exhibition of amphorae and equipment used in the production of olive oil in ancient time.

Departure Point
Amphitheatre de Pula, Pula, Croatia
Amphitheatre de Pula, Pula, Croatia Travel back in time to the days when togas were all the rage. Pula is to Croatia what Rome is to Italy. There is no hiding the city’s main attraction – an enormous Roman Amphitheatre. Reminiscent of the Colosseum in Rome, just wandering around its mighty Roman walls conjures images of gladiators doing battle in the dust. It is the biggest theatre of its kind in the world.
The amphitheater is located approximately 200 meters to the northeast outside of the city walls of Pula, in accordance with the Roman land division grid. The two central axes of the outer wall mantle of the amphitheater at Pula measure 132.5 and 105.1 m, and its maximum height measures 32.45 m. The amphitheater was erected in Tuscan style, covering an area of 11, 466 m2. Built on the slope of a hillock, on the western side facing towards the sea, the amphitheater at Pula has four floors - the raised foundations with entrances and three stories, whereas in its eastern section it lies on a naturally elevated terrain, the masoned part of the structure being, hence, considerably lower: only the two upper stories rise from the ground.

We were happy to see Pula amphitheatre as it is quite iconic place if you are interested in Roman history. The building itself is spectacular. It is great to see it from outside and for most of the people it is enough. We bought the tickets which were quite expensive, but I think it includes an electronic guide ( I wasn't offered it but people were using them). There is an entry for wheelchair users and prams. I recommend buying an evening experience of Gladiators Fights for younger audience as there was not a big difference between normal entry and a show.
