About
Quick facts: The temple features nine Corinthian columns that are 10 meters tall and are still standing. It was built to honor the Roman emperor Augustus, and its interior preserves original inscriptions from the Roman era.
Highlights: The most impressive detail is the dual inscription in Latin and Greek, which reveals how two great civilizations communicated in Pula. Additionally, the structure has survived several earthquakes, showcasing its magnificent Roman engineering.
