My favourite point in the city centre: Cinema history and “Heart of gold” story. At the moment you already forgot of ancient Pula, here it goes a little bit more: Sergei Street “Center Spider’s Web” Floor Mosaic “The Punishment of Dirce” Agrippina’s House Forum & little bit of magic Monte Zaro Park – at this point we are on the way to explore the most fascinating building: Community Center Rojc We are now in this imposing building with such a great history. Completely changed, becomes the centre of culture, place of music and great people. In the inner courtyard, there are bars where you can find refreshment. But before, you need to see painted halls and get lost in a maze of Rojc. I know the way out 🙂
