See OfFersVisitors from all over the world come to Pula to marvel at the beauty of this 3000-year-old Istrian city.

As a result, the city and its surroundings were home to 26 magnificent forts or fortifications, eight artillery batteries, about 60 batteries, trenches, underground tunnels and many other points of interest. Its clean sea and beautiful parks are also a joy to experience and many of the beaches in Pula and nearby towns are perfect for watersports such as windsurfing, kayaking and snorkelling.
