a triumph
The Arch of Triumph is well preserved and very admirable. It looks perfectly intact in all its glory. During the day it is very crowded with tourists, and during night its lights make the atmosphere even more impressive. In the surrounding area there are many bars, shops and restaurants. You can go through this arch and start your shopping in Pula.
nice "door"
You can't miss it. It is only 10 minutes away from the Amphitheater. You can walk under it and take pictures. The arch of Sergius was erected by a wealthy widow to commemorate the role played by her husband and brothers at the Battle of Actium, where a fleet commanded by Octavian (later Emperor Augustus) was victorious over Mark Anthony. It shows eagles, sphinxes, dolphins , leaves grapes, chariots and the Roman goddess of victory inscribed in honour of Lucius Sergius Lepidus.
