Spomenik kulture Forum (Pula, Istra) Središnji trg antičke i srednjovjekovne Pule nalazi se u podnožju gradskog brežuljka, na zapadnoj strani grada, uz obalu. Na Forumu nalazile su se sve gradske funkcije – vjerske, upravne, sudske i gospodarske. Na sjevernom dijelu Foruma nalazila su se dva jednaka bočna hrama i jedan središnji posvećen Jupiteru, Junoni i Minervi. Od njih je potpuno sačuvan Augustov hram dok je od drugog bočnog hrama danas vidljiv stražnji zid koji je iskorišten kod gradnje gradske vijećnice u XIII stoljeću. Spomenik kulture Forum – Pula , Turistički vodič za odmor i ljetovanje – Pula, Istra Spomenik kulture Forum, Pula – Ne propustite Augustov hram, ostaci “Dijanina” hrama, Kapitolija i Bazilike, integrirani u srednjovjekovnu Komunalnu palaču, najznačajniji je arhitektonski sklop povijesne jezgre Pule, jedini sačuvan u Hrvatskoj i vrlo rijedak u Europi. Središte rimskih gradova činili su forumi na kojima su dominirali hramovi i bazilike, a bili su najvažniji gradski društveni prostor, mjesto okupljanja građana. Pulski je Forum bio podijeljen na niži plebejski dio i na viši patricijski – podignuti plato oko hramova. U doba Rimske republike na Forumu su dominirali Kapitolinski hram, vjerojatno posvećen bogu Herkulu zaštitniku Pule, i Bazilika koja integrira funkcije sudstva, administrativnih djelatnosti i trgovine. U doba cara Augusta uz Kapitolij i Baziliku podižu se hramovi blizanci, istočno tzv. “Dijanin hram”, a zapadno Augustov hram, građen između 4. i 14. godine. Uz Forum, kraj uspona (clivus) koji vodi prema utvrdi (castrum), nalazila se riznica (aerarium). Posebno značenje i vrijednost ovome prostoru daje više od dva milenija neprekinutog odvijanja najvažniji funkcija na jednom mjestu.
