The experience

About this quest

Discover a lesser-known story of Pula: the Histri, ancient tribes who lived here before the Romans arrived.

Follow a father and son through family memories, old gods, piracy and the struggle with Rome. This tour takes you beyond the usual city tour, combining a few famous sights with quieter places that most visitors never see.

Solving the last challenge brings you to the final destination: a mysterious Roman temple.

Is this for you?

Who it's for
