The temple of Augustus is a well-preserved Roman temple in the city of Pula, Croatia. It was dedicated to the first Roman emperor, Augustus. It was probably built during the emperor's lifetime at some point between 27 BC and his death in AD 14.

The “Golden Gate” was erected between the years 29 and 27 BC by the Sergi family, in honor of three members of the family who held important positions in Pula at that time. Today numerous cultural performances, theatrical and musical, are held on the square next to the Arch.

Small roman theatre in Pula, Croatia is assumed to date back to the 1st century. It took up a much bigger space than today, as archaeological research hasn't finished.
