This historic floor mosaic is in remarkably good condition and is definitely worth a visit. Fortunately, we had a guide who directed us to the area. The mosaic features very intricate patterns, with beautiful flower sections, images of people, and various other patterned effects. Clearly it was produced by masters of the technique and would have taken many hours and a lot of effort to create.
The mozaik is wel known by the People of Pula, but its hard to find. The signs are badly put up, so you mistake easily and take the wrong way.But once found, it was a verry good historical piece, lying in someonce back yard! Its wel preserved and the figures are marvellous!
Impressive that it is over 1800 years old however it is not easy to find, being tucked away behind a car park. Follow some cardboard(!) signs to see it.
We were walking all around it for a while before we found the hidden mosaic. It's pretty neat, so definitely try to find it, but they seriously need to erect some actual signage to point you in the right direction. When we finally got there it was a hand written sign. Someone actually wrote 'finaly' at the end of the sign. Guess we weren't the only ones who had trouble finding it.
Roman mosaic floors are found everywhere throughout the roman empire but seldom do you find an example intact and in such good condition.The site has been signed but these are a bit hard to find and follow. The chase will be worth it.
The mosaic is beautiful, one of the largest I have seen, and very intact - only very few sections are missing. It is certainly worth visiting, but it is not particularly easy to find. It is only a few steps from the main tourist drag, but the official signs only point you off the main pedestrian street, and then only some hand written signs in cardboard lead you round the back of an apartment block and up a driveway to the mosaic. The driveway is overgrown, and you would never expect anything to be there if you weren't looking. There is no information at all. It is on free public display, but a small information plaque would be appreciated!
Don't expect too much, but doesn't take off too much time from your tour round Pula. You can go through the shop/corridor afterwards, saving you time backtracking round the route you came.
this was lovely as i love mosaic floors but it was so difficult to find at the back of a car park, only saw a sign nailed to a tree by pure chance - but do go and look for it if you get chance
Great example of a more or less intact Roman mosaic that would have been someone's living room floor. Would definitely have impressed their neighbours. Bit odd viewing it today in the corner of a car park & through a metal fence but well worth a 10 minute look.
This was just very poorly presented. Tucked away at the back of a scruffy car park, it looked unloved. Complete lack of interpretation materials!
