Eine Festung die zur unterschiedlichen Zeiten erweitert wurde.
Unterirdische Tunnels bieten auch Abkühlung an heißen Sommertagen. Perfekter Blick auf die Stadt Pula und Meer von dem oberen Außenbereich.
Wenn Interesse besteht möglichst mehr zu erkunden, soll man mehr Zeit fürs Besichtigung einplanen.
Gute Öffnungszeit, bis 21 Uhr im Sommer, Einlass bis 19:45.

Museum with great view on a Pula city! Nice to visit it and see underground halls. I recommend this place!
Paul Hancock
A 7-euro ticket to the Citadel or the Zero Strasse (underground passages beneath the citadel) will get you access to everything inside the citadel which includes numerous exhibits like the history of the Pula street car, Slovenian soccer history, the building of the Citadel, the Maritime museum, the Citadel tower and armaments, and the underground passages.

Sehr hübsch und sehr interessant.
Ich kann eine Besichtigung nur empfehlen

Ausstellung über das lokalen Fußballteam, über die elektrische Straßenbahn, einen übermeisterten U-Boot, ein Passagierboot, und man kann in unterirdische Gänge schauen. Alles durchschnittlich interessant.

Interesting fortress with connection to the underground of Pula. It's well worth a visit. Admission for 6 euros per person is justified

Hilltop fort in the center of the city. It now houses a museum dedicated, by in large to the occupation of the city, and of Croatia, in second world war. The upper levels provide for excellent view points of the city. It's not expensive to enter and worth a visit during your time in Pula.

Pula ist recht klein. Deshalb kann man das Museum auf der höchsten Erhebung von überall gut und schnell erreichen. Der Eintritt beträgt 6 Euro pro Person. Es gibt Ermäßigungen für Schüler und Studenten. Der Besuch lohnt sich schon wegen der einmaligen Aussicht über den Hafen und Pula von der Festung aus. Es gibt einen militärischen Aussichtsturm. Der ist aber nicht wie die übrige Anlage behindertengerecht und sollte nur von schwindelfreien Personen bestiegen werden. Er bietet aber die beste Aussicht, weil man auch über die Bäume hinweg sieht. Das Gebäude ist das ehemalige Fort der KuK Marine, mit der dieser Hafen militärisch beherrscht wurde. Die Anlage ist für ihre Zeit modern und beeindruckend. Der militärische Teil der Ausstellung beschränkt sich auf die Mannschaft der Artillerietruppe, die die Festung bemannte. Nur ein paar Fotos von den Marineschiffen des KuK Kriegshafens, aufgenommen von der Festung aus. Sonst nichts über die KuK Marine, was ich einigermaßen enttäuschend fand.

Tolle historische Festung mit schönen Blick auf die Stadt Pula.
Anstieg ist soweit in Ordnung und nach einem kurzen, steilen Anstieg ist man nach ca. 15 Minuten auch schon oben. Parkplätze sind auch ganz oben vor der Festung enthalten.
Der Eintritt ist kaum die Rede wert. Wir haben nur für die Festung bezahlt, ohne die Unterirdischen-Anlagen. Für mich als Geschichte-Fan waren zu wenig Dokumentationen, Schaubilder, Ausstellungsstücke, etc. vorhanden.

Interesting museum, many unique exhibits. Well restored corridor system. You can spend the whole day here. The only minus - closed cafe on the premises of the fort, which is surprising, especially since a lot of tourists.

Learning something new is amazing. Those tunnels were built long time ago even before my grandpa's time. Just to see that things are not always what seems to be, gives you time to reflect and appreciate what you have now. History is teaching us a good lesson let's don't make the same mistake again. If visit Pula this location gives you a 360 view over the city. The Colosseum is on the East side of the fort.

Entrance for adults is 20Kn, Students 10Kn, Children 5Kn, view is great from there, free toilets are also located in the fortress.

The fort is very well preserved, there are also some underground passages which were closed when I was there. There were two separate historical exibitions, each equaly interesting, but unfortunately there weren't any maritime exibitions. Never-the -less, plenty to see, and the views from up there were amazing.

Cool. But it was closed due to a special event.
You can come here to look at the sunset. It’s the perfect place to be. Get yourself something to drink and take the 5 min walk. Super cool location. You don’t have to pay entry just walk around the castle and look for your personal effect spot to be.
Boris Mihoci
Prices are very low (20 kn, 5 kn for kids), view from there is great, you can see history of Istria peninsula, mostly WWII, newly redecorated. Not too much for see, but overall feeling is good.
