Pula Arena
The Pula Arena is a Roman amphitheatre in Pula, Istria, constructed between 27 BC and AD 68 and completed under Vespasian and Titus. It is an elliptical limestone arena notable for retaining its full outer wall and for an internal oval performance area surrounded by tiered stone seating and subterranean passageways. Today it is used for cultural events but in its prime it hosted gladiatorial games, hunts and public spectacles.

As it stood in AD 81
The shape it held in its prime.
A massive elliptical ring of pale local limestone rising in two to three stacked stories, pierced by regular arcades: 72 semicircular arches on the lower levels and a top course of 64 rectangular openings. The arena is set into a slope so one side shows only two stories while the sea-facing side shows three. Inside, an oval sand-covered performance field is encircled by steep stone seating carved into the ground, with visible stair aisles, gate openings and masonry towers at the cardinal points.
