The Pula Arena webcam shows a live view of the Roman amphitheatre of Pula, the best-known monument of the city and of Istria. Hosted by Archaeological Museum of Istria.
The Arena was built in the 1st century, when Pula was the Roman colony of Pietas Iulia Pola, and its construction is believed to have begun under Emperor Augustus. Its outer wall measures about 132.5 by 105.1 metres and rises to 32.45 metres, and in Roman times it could hold an estimated 23,000 spectators. The live image lets you see the amphitheatre in different light and weather, and check the conditions in Pula before you visit.
A Roman amphitheatre that is still in use
The Arena stands on a gentle slope facing the sea, with views over the harbour of Pula. Four rectangular towers frame the outer wall; they once held wooden staircases, with cisterns at the top that collected rainwater. Today the amphitheatre is a cultural heritage site of national importance, and in summer it hosts concerts and the Pula Film Festival. More live views of the city are collected on our Pula webcams page, and the Forum webcam shows the Roman square with the Temple of Augustus in the old town.
