Arch of the Sergii (Croatian: Slavoluk Sergijevaca) is an Ancient Roman triumphal arch located in Pula, Croatia. The arch commemorates three members of the Sergii family, specifically Lucius Sergius Lepidus, a tribune serving in the twenty-ninth legion that participated in the Battle of Actium and disbanded in 27 BC. This suggests an approximate date of construction: 29–27 BC. The arch stood behind the original naval gate of the early Roman colony. The Sergii were a powerful family of officials in the colony and retained their power for centuries.
The honorary triumphal arch, originally a city gate, was erected as a symbol of the victory at Actium. As the main inscription proclaims, it was paid for by the wife of Lepidus, Salvia Postuma Sergia. Both of their names are carved in the stone along with Lucius Sergius and Gaius Sergius, the honoree's father and uncle respectively. In its original form, statues of the two elders flanked Lepidus on both sides on the top of the arch. On either side of the inscription, a frieze depicts cupids, garlands and bucrania.
Beautiful place to visit. You can take really cool pictures. There are also some cafés and restaurants next to the arch.

It's a nice arch. Quite old. I used to drive a car through it in the late eighties. Now it's not allowed anymore. Still a nice arch ;) You can enjoy a view from nearby coffee shops (there's one on the nearby roof terrace - don't miss it!)

A beautiful historical place in the middle of the city, great place to take your photos. Surrounding is full of caffs or little restaurants where you can take a rest or a meal 🍵

This arch resembles as a miniature of the Arch de Triumph in Paris. A historical monument worth visiting when in Pula. Note the details around the monument.
