The Archaeological Ruins of Nora are the landmark of Sardinia’s grandeur in the Roman era. That’s why you cannot miss the excursion in this corner of Sardinia if you’re fond of history and wish to discover the origins of a mysterious island. The Cape of Pula was first identified by the Phoenicians and the Punic for its privileged position. Precisely at this point, Nora was founded, to become one of the largest metropolia on the island. During the Roman era, the golden age of Sardinia, the city flourished and neighborhoods were created a few meters away from the sea, as well as paved streets, that still today are more than surprising. The ruins of Nora today reveal glimpses of the greatness of the ancient city: the ancient popular districts, the luxurious villas embellished with polychrome mosaics, the baths, the temples, the ancient cobbled streets, and above all the splendid theatre, which every summer still hosts an international theatre festival. The area is immersed in a breathtaking panorama, against the background of which stands the Torre del Coltellazzo.
