The Arch of the Sergii is a Roman triumphal arch in Pula, Istria, Croatia, dating to the late 1st century BCE. It was erected by the local Sergii family as a funerary and commemorative monument.

A compact, well-preserved Roman arch constructed in local limestone stands at the edge of Pula’s old town and forms part of the city’s visible Roman fabric. Its sculpted reliefs and preserved cornice work are typical of late Republican Roman civic monuments and are examined on short walks through the historic centre.

The arch was built around the end of the 1st century BCE to honour members of the Sergii family who served in the Roman army. It survived later urban changes and remains one of Pula’s principal ancient monuments.

Located in the historic core of Pula in Istria County, the arch sits within walking distance of the Pula Arena and other Roman remains, on the Istrian peninsula of Croatia.

• Location in Pula: Sits near Pula’s Roman forum and the city’s Roman amphitheatre, making it easy to visit as part of a Roman-era walking route.

Pula is served by regional buses and a small airport; the Roman forum with the Arch of the Sergii is in the historic center, a short walk from Pula’s main squares and seafront.

• The Arch is on the old Roman forum-approach early to avoid the full heat of summer and to see the reliefs more clearly.
• Combine a visit with Pula's Croatian Archaeological Museum for context on the Sergii family and Roman Pula.
• The arch is outdoors and unstaffed-photograph with a wide-angle lens to capture its reliefs and the surrounding forum.
