Pula and the archaeological site in Nora


There were lots of flags hung up over the streets all over the town!


Some of the Roman ruins and a tower in the background.


Looking out over part of the town.


The back of the theater.


The nooks were for shops on the back of the theater, and on the right are some steps to get into the theater.


All of the buildings used to be covered in marble, and now the last piece of marble is the white piece of rock in the middle of this pile.


A place where people used to take walks.


The houses used to be here, and we could still see some of the holes in the ground where they stored water.


One of the nicer houses with pillars. The rainwater would fill up the basin in the middle of the pillars.


A pillar that used to be on the front porch.


A room with mosaic tile.


The tile here was smaller and more detailed, which meant that it was a nicer room.


A hole that people used to store extra rainwater.


Looking over to the building with the public baths.


Matt walking through the entrance to the public baths.


One of the baths in the public baths (on the left are some steps, and on the right we could see a drain).


What is left of an oven used to heat the baths.


The front porch with many pillars (or what used to be pillars).


The stage in the theater.


The seats in the amphitheater. The simple people would enter from the stairs in back and sit up at the top, and the richer people would enter from the arches at the bottom and sit in the front. 


We also took a tour up this tower.


I though that this was very considerate of whoever built the walkway; instead of moving the rocks, they built around them!


The tower was on the edge of a cliff.


About to walk into the tower.


The view of the peninsula that we were on from the tower.


The water was very clear and we could see to the bottom from the top of the tower.


Some pretty flowers we saw on our way back.


Hehehe.


Italian flags!


We wandered into a very interesting candy shop.


They had candy that looked like bananas.


And candy that looked like strawberries!


When we sat down to have a snack, we saw one of the biggest dogs I've ever seen in my life.


And his name was King!
