At the southernmost tip of the Istria lies the three-thousand year old city of Pula, where the old and the new merge together and countless authors and composers have been inspired to produce great works. There are many, many monuments to the city's cultural history, which today acts as a kind of stage for culture and entertainment. The tourist facilities are located outside the town in luscious woodland along the sea. The beaches stretch down a beautiful 100 km long coast.
