Pula is the center of Istria and an increasingly popular tourist town for Europeans,
Among the Yugoslavian communist architecture you find Roman ruins and Venetian architecture from houses and shops to churches.

It's strange how this 5% of Venetians builded 100% of ancient buildings in roman or venetian style... Where are slavic style ancient buildings?
Italy is full of great history. Very nice
True, but this was in Croatia that's the point
Pola,romana e veneta.
“Under Augustus the whole of Istria was annexed to the tenth region of Italy; the south-eastern limits being the Flumen Arsae, the modern Arsa, that great gash in the Eastern flank beyond which began Liburnia. ... Ethnologically, again, Istria declares herself Italian, not Austrian. Her 290,000 souls (round number) consist of 166,000 Latins to 109,000 Slavs, the latter a mongrel breed that emigrated between A.D. 800 and 1657; and a small residue of foreigners, especially Austro-German officials. The Italians are, it is true, confined to the inner towns and to the cities of the seaboard; still, these scattered centres cannot forget that to their noble blood Istria has owed all her civilization, all her progress, and all her glories in arts and arms. Lastly, 'sentiment,' as a factor of unknown power in the great sum of what constitutes 'politics,' is undervalued only by the ignorant vulgus. The Istrians are more Italian than the Italians.”
-Lady Isabel Burton, The Life of Captain Sir Richard F. Burton, 1883
Pola is actually the original Roman and later Italian name. Istria is a great place.
Haha yeah I've said that but I'm not sure if I put it in, I don't think I did because the audio probably wasn't really usable for a video worth watching.
The whole country is a great place
@@brankobelfranin8815 meh... everything beyond the dinaric alps is too foreign for me and frankly not that great.
@@Zz_Mike-Hawk_zZ The whole country is great (Croatia), From Pula to Dubrovnik to Zagreb and all in between. I could say the same thing about the southern part of Italy, but I will not.
@@brankobelfranin8815 I'm not joking, Karlovac and Osijek have some nice historic centers, but the rest is a mess of decaying old buildings (some of which looked good) abandoned houses and farmland and in some places it looked like a mess. And don't even get me started on the communist stuff. If you don't think this is true then you haven't seen your own country. You just make money off the clueless tourists that go to the Adriatic coast who do not know the real history of the region and are made to think that everything was always Croatian, the reality of course is much more complicated than that.
Then it means france is italian to it has roman ruins and england is italian to wow you learn something every day
It's Croatian now.
True
