About Augustov hram
The Augustov hram occupies one side of Pula’s ancient forum. The Roman temple has a raised portico on a podium and columns on the façade. Its position by the square allows you to appreciate its scale relative to the buildings that formed around it over the centuries.
The structure was dedicated to Rome and to the emperor Augustus. Its exterior retains the appearance of a classical temple, with columns, a pediment and frontal access. The use of the square continued after the Roman period, and the monument’s survival helps recognise that urban continuity.
The temple can be seen on the same route that crosses the historic centre. To visit the interior and the archaeological collection, check opening times before you go. Even on a short itinerary, allow time to observe the proportions of the façade from the opposite side of the square.
