Abstract
The purpose of this study is to present the history of civil hospitals present in Pula during the Austrian period. All circumstances which are related to their founding and development have been analysed, together with a number of complex events which had influenced them. Careful archivial and bibliographic research has made it possible to present the above mentioned material which explains the most important aspects of hospital care in the Province of Istria in the processed period. The first communal sanatorium in Pola-Pula was founded in 1842, while the first city hospital was built in 1875. The extraordinary urban development of Pula in the last decade of the 19th century had led to an urgent need of building a bigger hospital complex which was built on the hill of St. Mihovil and solemnly opened 6th October, 1896. On the day of 3rd January, 1904 the complete medical institution became the property of the Province of Istria thus
establishing the Provincial hospital of Pola-Pula.
