Bagni di Stoia is a public beach on the Pula Stoja peninsula.
The beach facility, built in 1936, is the work of architect Enrico Trolis and represents the culmination of modern architectural creation in the 1930s in the Pula area.
When erecting the building, the inviolability of the environment and the principles of functional construction were respected. Unlike most projects of the time, a relatively small beach was created on the outskirts of the city, surrounded by a Mediterranean landscape. The construction of the bathing facility was made possible by the municipal authorities with their own funds, while the young student E. Trolis managed to preserve its functionality and low budget. The grand opening was on July 19, 1936. The construction of the building brought freshness to the hitherto suggestive bathing environment, and the new building attracted attention with its measured volume and simple architecture. The swimming pool was built on the edge of a pine forest, which provided users with fragrant air and pleasant shade, and the cabins, painted in basic colors, gave a special atmosphere. The building is constructed as an abstract composition based on an asymmetrical floor plan composition, minimalist construction and elemental shapes. The essential expression of the design is inspired by the ship's aesthetics of decks, round windows and masts. The sun deck determines the central axis of the building as the absolutely dominant spatial element. The semicircular terrace on the building is set as an elongated floating surface on two pillars. The surfaces of the wall surfaces are rhythmic with the geometry of circular window openings, vertical surfaces of the cabin doors and a simple grid of horizontal lines of metal railings. Behind the beach facility there is a circular podium for the orchestra built within the complex.
It is protected as a cultural asset by the decision of the Directorate for the Protection of Cultural Heritage of the Ministry of Culture of 20.XII.2005. and entered in the Register of Cultural Heritage of the Republic of Croatia. The City of Pula has launched a project for the rehabilitation and renovation of the beach in 2016. The pier, the area behind the cabins and the upper terrace have been renovated, and the central building was renovated in 2019. The entire project for the renovation of the beach. playgrounds for children, two rows of cabins, toilets, storage rooms, terrace for the restaurant under the concrete canopy, cafe-bar with terrace, large restaurant, sun deck and dance floor.
