About this tour
This session moves between two of Pula's Roman gates, the Arch of the Sergii and the double-arched Twin Gates a short walk apart. You see the carved names and reliefs still legible on the Sergii arch, then the two arches of the Twin Gates leading toward the old amphitheatre district. Both mark how the Roman town's edges are still visible today.
We open at the Sergii arch with a sound check, then walk to the Twin Gates for the second stop, stopping along the way for questions about the streets between them. A short list of what we covered follows by message.
It suits anyone who likes Roman stonework explained as they built it, joint by joint. It also works well as a short add-on to a longer Pula session.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city

The camera looks up at the triumphal arch raised for the Sergii family, and I point out the carved names and reliefs still legible on its face after two thousand years.

A short list to keep 4 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Istrian pršut and Verudela, worth a slower look.
