My cruise arrived in Pula, Croatia today. After visiting the Roman amphitheater, we walked around a bit, and in the afternoon, some of walked to the highest point in Pula to visit the Venetian fortress. (It is called the Venetian fortress, as it was built when the area was part of the Venetian Republic.

Pula Croatia Roman Amphitheater

Posted on by

My cruise, which started in Venice, arrived in Pula, Croatia today. We started the day visiting an amazingly intact Roman amphitheater. It was gorgeous, and we could just wander around looking at all the details. It is still used as a concert venue. Parts of it have been reconstructed.
