About Slavoluk Sergijevaca
The Slavoluk Sergijevaca is the Roman Arch of the Sergii, located on the edge of Pula’s old town. The structure marks a passage between the historic city and the streets leading to the surrounding neighbourhoods. Its decorated façade contrasts with the scale of nearby buildings.
The monument was commissioned by Salvia Postuma to honour members of the Sergii family. Columns, inscriptions and reliefs make up the face facing the city. The point of interest is to observe these details and understand the commemorative function that sets the arch apart from a simple city gate.
You don’t need a long visit for the site, but it’s worth passing through the arch and looking at both faces. Its position on the pedestrian route allows it to fit between the forum and other streets of the centre. The stop works best as part of a walk, without needing private transport.
