This Croatian City Has a Colosseum from Ancient Rome | Exploring Pula

Today’s episode of Chasing Travel Beauty takes us from the soft, romantic streets of Rovinj to the powerful, ancient city of Pula, Croatia — a place where history still stands tall in stone.

After leaving Rovinj’s pastel harbor and winding through Istria’s rolling olive groves and vineyards, we arrive at one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world: Pula Arena, built in the 1st century during the reign of Emperor Vespasian, the same emperor who built the Colosseum in Rome.

We explore inside the arena, descend underground to see original Roman wine and olive-oil vessels, walk past the city gates and ancient walls, discover hidden Roman frescoes and mosaics, visit the Franciscan Monastery, wander through the main square, and end along Pula’s marina — where the Adriatic meets two thousand years of history.

This episode is about contrast:


Rovinj feels like a poem.
Pula feels like a proclamation.
Two cities. One day. Completely different energies — both unforgettable.

✨ If you love travel that blends beauty, culture, and meaning, this one is for you.
