Self-guided Sightseeing Tour #2 in Pula, Croatia

The Naval Church in Pula was built on the hill of St. Polycarp in Pula at the end of the 19th century. Specifically, construction began in 1891, and the church was completed in 1898. The style of construction is a mixture of neo-Byzantine and neo-romanticism, and three architects left their mark on the church: Friedrich von Schmidt, Victor Lunz and Natale Tommasi. The latter was from the vicinity of Trento, and in 1890 he also designed the building of the State German Gymnasium in Pula and the parish church of St. Agnes in Medulin.

The Naval Park in Pula is the oldest city park in Pula, built in 1863. It was created with the development of the Pula district of St. Polycarp as the first planned city park. The park, like other parks in Pula that was created later, is arranged in the style of park architecture that prevailed in the second half of the 19th century: it abounds in exotics located on islands surrounded by free-form hiking trails, with the main emphasis on the central roundel with the monument to Archduke Ferdinand Maximilian, and smaller accents in the form of two sideways fountains. It has been preserved in its original size, like most of Pula's city parks from that period. Over time, however, there were changes in the layout of the trails and the number of plant species was reduced because many exotics did not adapt to the climatic conditions or were replaced by cheaper indigenous and domesticated species as worn-out. The park covers 12,000 square meters, of which 4,700 square meters are under paths, and the rest is covered with plant cover.

Arch of the Sergii is an Ancient Roman triumphal arch located in Pula, Croatia. The arch commemorates three members of the Sergii family, specifically Lucius Sergius Lepidus, a tribune serving in the twenty-ninth legion that participated in the Battle of Actium and disbanded in 27 BC. This suggests an approximate date of construction: 29–27 BC. The arch stood behind the original naval gate of the early Roman colony. The Sergii were a powerful family of officials in the colony and retained their power for centuries.

The Small Roman Theatre in Pula was probably built in the 1st century on the eastern slope of the Pula hill at the foot of the old Castrum. It occupied a much larger area than what is visible today, because archaeological research has not been fully completed.
