Pula Citadel

An amazing place full of history and breathtaking views! 🏰✨ Pula Kaštel is not only a beautiful fortress but also a spot where you can truly feel the spirit of the old city. The 360° view from the top is incredible — you can see the sea, the Roman Arena, and the whole of Pula in one glance. I also had the chance to share and sell our handmade creations inside, and the experience was unforgettable. The atmosphere, the friendly visitors, and the mix of culture and creativity make this place truly special. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in Pula — it’s a must-see for history lovers, artists, and anyone who enjoys unique views and peaceful surroundings. 🇭🇷💙

Amazing views from the top - panoramic of the whole site - was helpful as my first look of the city to get my bearings. Loved that the ticket also included use of the undercity tunnel network - helpful as it was raining on and off (visited a couple of days ago!)

I like history and I've been to quite a few other fortresses and the design follows other fortress designs because you're trying to defend and required similar designs and systems. The fortress has been disarmed and the museums/displays on site are bright with information and displays but I found some lack.....that is not a bad comment, just a minor con. There has obviously been a lot of work to maintain the integrity of the stone work and that is definitely a pro. Definitely worth the time for a visit. I rate this 4 stars.

Impressive hilltop fortress with stunning views. Kaštel offers a great mix of history and scenery. Built by the Venetians in the 17th century, it now houses a museum and provides panoramic views of Pula and the Adriatic Sea. A must-visit for history lovers and photographers!

Very beautiful views. Nice fortress, with a tower from where the views are even more wonderful. The entrance fee is 7 euros.

Impressive views over Pula Harbour from the fortress battlements. It's mostly a gentle climb to reach it but the vista over the port and beyond is worth it. There's a small and interesting exhibition about the Austro-Hungarian army and navy - the artillery mainly - which progressively strengthened the old Venetian citadel in the 19th century as Pula was the main naval base for the Habsburgs. An elevator will take you down into the depths below the Citadel to walk through the 'Zerostrasse' underground tunnels used in both WWI and WWII.

The Pula Citadel is a peaceful historic site with stunning views of the city and the sea. Entry is €7 per person. You can walk straight into the charming old town. It's full of history, beautiful architecture, and offers a quiet escape from the busy streets below.

Interesting information and very nice views. Access to the lower level and the tunnels beneath the city. For just 7 euro it's a bargain.
