        The 8 meter high triumphal arch from antiquity is located in the pedestrian zone of Pula. He was born in the years 29-27 BC. built by the Sergei family and is therefore also called "Sergian Arch". Salvia Postuma Sergia had this arch built at family expense as a memorial in honor of her three brothers who died at the Battle of Actium around 30 BC. had fallen. The arch of the Sergians leaned against the then city gate "Porta Aurea". Because it had gilded or gold-decorated arches, it was also called the "Golden Gate".

        Triumphal Arch - also called "Golden Gate" or "Sergian Arch".

        The triumphal arch is also called the Arch of the Sergians or "Golden Gate" because the main gate of the city of Pula was also located here, which was demolished in 1829 as part of urbanization. This demolition also revealed the east-facing side of the Arch of the Sergians, which is undecorated. The western side of the triumphal arch, facing the city, which has always been visible, is decorated in the Corinthian style. In ancient times, the Via Flavia from Aquileia and Trieste led through the gate to the Forum Square. In the years 1904-1905 the writer James Joyce lived in the house next to the Arch of the Sergians (see photo on the left), he was then working as an English teacher in Pula (Source: istriensonne.de/triumphbogen.html)
