The local government of the City of Pula is seated in the Communal Palace (Croatian: Komunalna palača u Puli; Italian: Palazzo Comunale), located on the Forum Square, in the center of the city.
The Communal Palace is situated at the northern end of the main square of the old part of the City of Pula, called the Forum Square.
The spot occupied by the Palace has been used for the public buildings since Ancient Rome, when the place was used as a part of a triad of Roman temples, of which today only the Temple of Augustus remains.
Even today, the whole northern part of the Temple of Diana is clearly visible at the back side of the Communal Palace.
The present state of building is due to several reconstructions made during the 19th and 20th centuries, the last of which was finished in 1988.
