Aquarium Pula

Aquarium Pula occupies Fort Verudella in southern Pula, while part of its work and displays also extend to neighbouring San Giovanni Battery. Its exhibitions cover the Adriatic, Mediterranean, tropical marine, tropical freshwater, and cold freshwater environments, so the visit goes beyond local species alone. The institution runs conservation programmes for sensitive and threatened Adriatic wildlife, including loggerhead turtles and the noble pen shell. Stone corridors, vaults, and former military rooms provide an unusual setting for the tanks. It is a strong choice for families and curious visitors who want to encounter living aquatic worlds while also learning about Pula’s fortification heritage.
