Pula Arena

Pula Arena, commonly known as Pula Amphitheater, is a historically significant Roman amphitheater in Croatia. Pula Arena was built in the first century AD under the reign of Emperor Vespasian, who was also responsible for the start building of the Colosseum in Rome.

Pula Arena, with a capacity of 20,000 spectators, would have hosted gladiatorial conflicts under the Romans and knightly tournaments during the Middle Ages. The modern Pula Arena, which has a capacity of 5,000 people and has been rebuilt, mostly hosts operas and film festivals.

The Pula Arena is the only one of its sort still standing, with all four side towers intact. Pula Arena's events are significantly more gentle than their historical counterparts, having a capacity of over 7,000 people both seated and standing. Stop by for an opera, a film festival, or a concert featuring the Foo Fighters, Elton John, or Leonard Cohen, among others. On-site ice hockey games have also taken place. Alternatively, simply walk around this massive ancient site and picture what life was like 2,000 years ago.

Pula Arena is located on the seaside and is easily accessible by foot. Alternatively, buses on the red, blue, purple, brown, grey and yellow lines will take you to the FLAVJEVSKA 1-B station, which is located directly outside the arena. Parking Karolina, close to Titov Park, is 50 meters distant for people driving.
