  Gate of Hercules, Pula: Pula's Oldest Roman Gate

  The Gate of Hercules is a modest Roman town gate set into Pula's old fortifications, a few minutes' walk from the Forum. It takes minutes to see, costs nothing to approach from the street, and works best as one stop on a short walk between the Forum, the Twin Gate and the Arch of the Sergii.

  Pula Arena: Visiting Pula's Roman Amphitheatre

  Pula Arena is the Roman amphitheatre at Flavijevska Street in Pula, a short walk from the old town and worth roughly an hour of your day.

  Pula Cathedral: What to See Inside and How Long It Takes

  Pula Cathedral sits on the south side of the bay, below the Venetian fort, and rewards 30 to 45 minutes rather than a whole morning. Here is what survives of its Roman-era floor mosaics, how the 1712 facade and the free-standing bell tower fit together, and how to reach it on foot from the Roman Forum.

  Pula Forum: Visiting the Roman Square in Pula Old Town

  Pula Forum is the city's Roman main square, open to anyone at any hour, with the Temple of Augustus still standing on its north side and the Town Hall built into the wall of a second temple. Allow around half an hour for the square itself, then add the tunnels on Carrarina ulica and the Arena.

  Temple of Augustus, Pula: Visiting the Roman Forum Temple
