"celebrating artefacts of Antiquity" Pula Things to Do Tip by picek

If you're into Ancient history, drop a visit to Augustus temple - impressive Roman era built shrine from 1st century AD as one of the oldest buildings consisting the edge of a Forum. It was originally dedicated to godess Roma and to emperor Augustus, whom reigned in that time and by all logic, it was built in centre of town, at the main square. Exhibited inside are the remaining and well preserved stone sculptures and relieves from that historic period from Istrian archeological sites and with detail worth to study closely. Indeed, a proof of vibrant events and complex societies inhabiting those grounds!

The grand stairs and massive columns of a shrine provide excellent site to sit down on evenings and form here, a little elevated view reveals the actual activity at the square. And when it rains, without umbrella, its roof welcomes you too.

It's indeed tiny museum, but atmospheric one.

Adults pay 10 kuna per ticket and may buy some Pula souvenirs at the reception desk. You may want to have one of those fake amphoras with you, as the real ones are too precious to be sold.
