Pula has its very own Colosseum, and it's the only remaining Roman amphitheatre to have four side towers entirely preserved.

It's even said to be more intact than its famous counterpart in Rome.

The Colosseum in Pula was constructed between 27 BC and AD 68, and is among the world's six largest surviving Roman arenas.

The city isn't short on beaches either with Galebove stijene, Jamica Beach, Valsaline and has its own harbour.

There's also the Arch of the Sergii, a huge triumphal arch that's the main gateway into its historic centre.

It's also known as the Golden Gate and was built to honour a prominent Roman family in Pula.
