Where History Meets Renewal

History of the building

Once the heart of Pula’s textile industry, the “Arena Trikotaža” building boasts a rich history. Built in the mid-20th century and active for decades as a knitwear factory, it now begins a new chapter as the home of the Gallerion maritime collection. Visitors can explore its transformed spaces, connecting both with the city’s industrial heritage and its vibrant naval past.
