Comparing it with more than 200 Roman amphitheaters, cloak Roman amphitheater with four towers, the best preserved and rare example of unique technical and technological solutions. It is ranked 6th among the Roman amphitheaters in the world, and is the only one in the world whose three Roman architectural orders have been completely preserved. The Pulas Amphitheater is placed next to the Colosseum in Rome, the Arena in Verona, the amphitheaters in Pompeii, Nimes and Arles in France and El Dzam in Tunisia. Surprisingly, the Arena as the undeniable cultural treasures of Croatia and the world is not yet on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

The arena (along with the ground floor of Motovun) features a 10 kuna reverse banknote.
