The Neighborhood

Pula is the largest city on the Istrian peninsula, with a very rich history. It has been a cultural centre in this area since Roman times and has well-preserved cultural and historical sights. The most spectacular cultural monument is the world-famous Arena amphitheatre, where various events are held today. There is also the Temple of Augustus, the Forum, Triumphal Arch of the Sergi – Golden Gate, and many other sights that are worth seeing. In the very centre of Pula, visit the picturesque open-air market, meet the locals and experience the spirit of the city. The long and diverse coastline has beautiful beaches, from rock to pebbles, and provides our guests with an excellent choice of places to enjoy the sun and the sea. After sunset, the city becomes a place full of different cultural programs, festivals, and concerts for each generation. Cave Romana is the north gate of a quarry that once went all the way to the cut cliffs you see on the way to the beach. There were five caves around Pula that the Romans valued for their white stone. Cave Romana was one of these, hence the name, Roman Hollow. The house is set in the village of Vintijan, 10 minutes from the centre of Pula city and from the beaches at Pjescana Uvala, and Veruda. Cave Romana was created from ancient farm buildings, hidden in a hollow formed by the Roman excavation of the precious white stone, over 2000 years ago. The local stone was used in building Venice and the Colosseum in Rome, and our Pula Amphiteatre. There are a range of restaurants, bars, cafes, cinemas, museums, theatres, concert halls, health, beauty and wellness spas fitness centre/gym, golf, tennis, water sports, swimming, biking, hiking, fishing, rock climbing, horseback riding, and a good choice of supermarkets and small mini markets.
