Our first visit to the gladiatorial show at the Pula Arena. Having seen the training once, we were very curious about the show. Since tourism was still low due to Covid-19, we decided to give it a try. We drove there and thought, “If it’s too crowded, we’ll turn around.” But the crowds were manageable.

Entering the arena was impressive with its beautiful costumes. Given our previous experience with the training, we had high expectations…

Feeling Safe:  

We felt secure entering the arena. The security staff worked hard to enforce social distancing, though not everyone adhered to it. Thankfully, an employee of the Arena managed to keep people apart effectively. Despite ongoing efforts, some still preferred to sit close together.

The show began with an engaging narrator who managed to captivate the audience effectively. The performance was also held in Svetvinčenat Castle.

The show started with a fire performance that initially seemed uncoordinated. The lack of choreography and rhythm was evident. Despite the initial excitement, the fire show did not meet expectations.

We eagerly anticipated the gladiator fights, having seen the training before. However, the performance did not live up to our hopes, possibly due to it being the first show or the heat. The gladiators’ performance lacked the expected intensity and excitement.

The show included various acts, but none reached the level of the Svetvinčenat Castle knights, whose performances are more thrilling and authentic. Another fire performance failed to impress, lacking the quality and excitement found in other local events.
