Abstract: Pula owes its sudden growth to the fact that it was chosen to become the most important naval base of the Habsburg monarchy in the mid-Nineteenth century. To a period of development and cosmopolitanism “induced” until 1918, follows a stalemate when it becomes an Italian town. In the second half of the Nineteenth century, it regains its strategic role as a military base and industrial city under Yugoslavia. The case of Pula allows to investigate – through historical sources – an interesting dependence relationship between city and state.
