Arch of the Sergii, Pula, Croatia

Walking through Pula, we found remnants of the Roman culture in the base stones of the city walls, the Herculean gate and finally at the Arch of the Sergii. This victory arch was built between 29 and 27 BC by Salvia Postuma Sergii. She inscribed the arch with "Salvia Postuma Sergii de Sua Pecunia" which means Salvia Postuma, wife of Sergii, built this arch with her own money. Strong women existed even then!
Next to the arch is. Bronze statue of the Irishman, James Joyce, who taught English here for a few months
During our free time, we saw the temple of Augustus, tasted some Ferraro gelato and Doug tasted some Istrian brandy.
Pula, or Pola, is a strong blend of Croatian and Italian cultures and every street sign is in both languages.Read more
