Constructed between 27 BC and AD 14 during the reign of Augustus and later expanded under Vespasian, the Pula Arena served as the primary venue for gladiatorial contests, animal hunts, and other Roman public entertainments, once accommodating up to approximately 23,000 spectators. It is regarded as one of the best-preserved ancient Roman amphitheatres and is notable for being the only remaining example to retain its entire circular wall structure.
