Photographer’s Note

Arena is the name of the amphitheatre located in Pula, Croatia. The Arena is the only remaining Roman amphitheater to have four side towers and with all three Roman architectural orders entirely preserved. It is the sixth largest surviving Roman arena and a rare example, among the 200 Roman surviving amphitheatres, of unique technological solutions. It is also the best preserved ancient monument in Croatia.

Arena was built in the 1st century AD, as the city of Pula became a regional center of Roman rule, called Pietas Julia. The name was derived from the sand that, since antiquity, covered the inner space. It was built outside the town walls along the Via Flavia, the road from Pula to Aquileia and Rome.

Bonjour Snezana,

Bien vu, la façade qui est derrière les arches crée un joli contraste .
Les couleurs sont naturelles et les détails intéressants.
Amicalement
Patrick

Zdravo Snezana. An artistically and archaeologically interesting composition.I like it a lot how each window(arch) gives a different image and the blue of the sky is unexpected amongst all that stone and plaster.Clever work. Pozdrav. Klaudio.
