At the heart of Pula’s old town stands the Temple of Augustus, dedicated to Emperor Augustus and the goddess Roma. Built between 2 BC and 14 AD, the temple has served many roles over the centuries – church, grain storage, even museum. Severely damaged during WWII, it was lovingly restored and now functions as an exhibition space.
The temple stands on the Forum, Pula’s main square dating back to the 1st century BC. Today, it’s a lively hub filled with cafés and restaurants, a popular gathering spot for visitors from around the world.
