Why Temple of Augustus matters
The temple stands on Pula's Roman forum, which is now an everyday town square with cafes and a town hall beside it. It is small, but its tall columns and neat proportions make it one of the best-preserved Roman temples of its type. Grab a coffee at a nearby terrace and watch it change colour through the afternoon.
Talking points
- It sits on the old Roman forum, now the town square.
