A glimpse of the past
The Pula Arena on a warm June evening - 2019.
The Pula Arena (Croatian: Pulska Arena, Italian: Arena di Pola) is the name of the amphitheatre located in Pula, Croatia. The Arena is the only remaining Roman amphitheatre to have four side towers and with all three Roman architectural orders entirely preserved. It was constructed in 27 BC – 68 AD[1] and is among the six largest surviving Roman arenas in the World.[1] A rare example among the 200 surviving Roman amphitheatres, it is also the best preserved ancient monument in Croatia. It is surprising that the Arena is not listed on UNESCO world heritage list. Croatia has applied 2 times to get Arena listed, but has withdrawn the application.
