The so-called Gate of Hercules is the oldest city gate in Pula (Croatia). Architecturally modest, it stands as a single-arched stone gate with, at the top, a worn carving relief of the head of Hercules with his club. The gate was built during the founding of the city in 47-44 BCE by two Roman officials, Lucius Calpurnius Piso Caesoninus and Quintus Cassius Longinus.
