Pula Old Town

Pula was an administrative center from Roman times until recently and is best known for its many Roman ruins, most notably the 1st century amphitheater (see Pula Arena post).
The 1st picture shows the Hercules Gate named for the picture of Hercules above the arch. Some of the remaining Roman walks are shown too. There are several monumental gates still here
The 2nd picture is of the forum. The temple to the left is the Temple of Augustus and is original to the 1st century. All other Roman buildings and temples are gone.
The 3rd picture is of the bell tower and Cathedral of the Assumption which dates to the 6th century but reached its current form in the 16th century. The bell tower dates to the 17th century.
The 4th picture is of house ruins from the 1st century said to be Agrippina's house. Originally, the wall to the left was part of the wall tif the forum.
The 5th picture is a preserved Roman floor mosaic, and the 6th is a typical stone paved street in town.
I just have to end with a shout out to Claire Pula.Baca selengkapnya
