The port of Pula was the main base of the Austro-Hungarian Navy until 1918. An impressive trace to this time forms the k.u.k. Naval Cemetery of Pula. The place in today’s Stoja district dates back to 1862. [German]

Grave of Hedwig and August Trapp
While walking along the tombs at the Austro-Hungarian naval cemetery in Pula, I came across the graves of Hedwig and August Trapp. They were der parents of Baron von Trapp. Fans of “Sound of Music” may know this name.
