Pula was founded by the Romans as Polae around 10 BC and became an important naval port. During the Austro-Hungarian Empire, the city developed significantly as a major naval base, with many of its distinctive buildings constructed during this period. The city's strategic location made it a contested territory throughout the 20th century before becoming part of modern Croatia.
