Pula:Dominant and largest city on the Istrian peninsula. Situated at the head of a well protected and deep
bay which, since its founding, has given it the important role of being a good port and a secure anchorage.
Geographical position, located only a bit to the west of the southernmost cape of the Istrian peninsula, assigned the city in many historical periods a special strategic significance.
