Tunnels underneath the citadel with access to the citadel included in the price if you work your way up. I did this in reverse and made my way down through the tunnels. Blissfully cool after the heat of the exterior. Fascinated by the tunnels and side rooms. Would have liked to see more information provided on their wartime use, and not just learn about the trams.

If you are in Pula, be sure to visit these underground tunnels from the early 20th century. It is an interesting and also "cooling" experience, providing a nice break from the heat. You will also have a chance to see Pula and the Pula Arena from the roof of the Citadel fortress, offering a unique perspective of the city. The admission cost is 7 EUR for adults and 3 EUR for kids.

Overall, it was an interesting experience that combined history, culture, and a bit...
