In the middle of Pula, Croatia, you can find the Pula Citadel, a historical fortress offering panoramic views of the city and its stunning Adriatic coastline. Built in the 17th century by the Venetians, it features robust stone walls, four bastions, and a commanding central tower, reflecting its strategic importance in defending the region. Today, it houses the Historical and Maritime Museum of Istria, where you can explore exhibits detailing Pula’s rich maritime and military history. An interesting fact about Pula is that it is home to one of the best-preserved Roman theaters in the world, the Pula Arena, which dates back to the 1st century and is still used for events and concerts, showcasing the city’s blend of ancient and medieval heritage. We waddled again around the city with the penguin stone before leaving it behind at the citadel. And you should also check out what is underneath the citadel. The stone is at the top, with a view of the arena.
