Pula

The Arena, the 6th largest surviving Roman amphitheatre. Towering over the nearby buildings this huge structure was barely saved from destruction several times during its life, mostly by various Venetians with plans to take it to Venice stone by stone as demonstration of the might of the Venetian empire. Many stones were taken to build houses and other structures around Pula, but fortunately this practice was stopped before the whole structure was destroyed. Entry 20 kn gives you access to wander the inside of the Colosseum and visit the caverns beneath. The audio tour is very worthwhile.

The Forum is the main square in the center of the city. The square is built on the place of the ancient Roman forum. On the square there is city hall that was built in 10th century parts of an old temple were used for the building as it can be seen on the rear side of the hall and the Temple of August, from the first century.
