About This Destination

Pula’s Roman amphitheatre is one of Croatia’s most striking film settings. In the 1989 miniseries Around the World in 80 Days, starring Pierce Brosnan as Phileas Fogg, the Arena becomes the setting for a balloon adventure. It also appears in Julie Taymor’s Titus (1999), with Anthony Hopkins and Jessica Lange.

Pula features in the third season of Borgia (2014), starring John Doman as Rodrigo Borgia. Its ancient architecture connects three very different stories: a journey around the world, a Shakespearean tragedy and the struggle for power in Renaissance Italy.

A film-inspired trip can continue to Cape Kamenjak near Premantura, where Season of the Witch (2011), starring Nicolas Cage, was filmed. This location lies in the municipality of Medulin, south of Pula.
