Temple of Augustus

A remarkably well-preserved gem of Roman architecture, built during the reign of Emperor Augustus, it stands as a graceful reminder of the city’s ancient past. Its elegant columns, finely carved details, and harmonious proportions make it one of the best surviving examples of a Roman temple outside Italy. Inside, the temple houses a small collection of Roman sculptures.

🌟🌟🌟 The Temple of Augustus is a beautiful slice of Roman history nestled right in the heart of Pula’s old town. It’s incredibly well-preserved considering it dates back to the 1st century BC, and the architecture is truly impressive—especially the Corinthian columns that still stand tall and proud. You can really feel the weight of history here. The temple sits in a charming square that’s perfect for photos and people-watching, with cafés nearby where you can relax and take in the view. Inside, there’s a small but interesting museum with Roman artifacts and sculptures, which adds context to the site’s significance. The only reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the interior exhibition is quite limited, and the entry fee, while modest, might feel a bit steep for how quickly you can get through it. Still, it’s absolutely worth a visit if you’re in Pula—especially for history lovers or anyone interested in ancient architecture. A peaceful, atmospheric stop that offers a glimpse into the grandeur of Roman civilization. Don’t miss it if you’re exploring Istria!

Absolutely worth seeing if you are at all interested in the history of the area or architecture. A sight to behold.

For a couple euro you get to turn back the clock to the time of Christ and envision what the Roman Empire resembled from an architectural perspective and from the statues of that period. Nice little stop in old town Pula.

looks great from the outside, but it closes much sooner than stated here or at tourist information (22h).. there's also no sign with opening hours next to the entrance.. Tourist information said its managed by museum people, who are somewhat not professional. they should get some informed students.. if you want to see it inside, come during the day.

Loved the temple. Many interesting and beautiful pieces. Good explanation of tenples history. Also, it is a very welcoming stuff that could tell more if you are interested.

The Temple of Augustus is a remarkable ancient structure located in a lively public square. Its impressive Roman architecture and deep historical significance make it a must-see when visiting Pula, especially for history lovers.

The sanctuary is dedicated to the goddness Roma and the emperor Augustus. It has a circular structure. It was once used as a sanctuary, later as a grain storage facility, and today here is a small exhibition of ancient stone and bronze sculptures. It is very beautiful.
