inner part of a bay, divided by the islands of St. Catherine, St. Andrew and
Uljanik into three port basins. |

According to the size of the con-structed coast and level of equipment, Pula
is the most important and biggest port in Istria, and the well-protected
Pula Bay places it among the best natural harbours on the Adriatic. Due to
its size, exposed location, two accesses (the one directly from the sea and
the other through the Fazana Strait), low coastline and easy construction of
fortification systems, provided the Pula Bay a special strategic importance. |
