From
Cagliari, in 30 minutes we’ll arrive to our destination: the
beautiful archaeological site of Nora, on a beautiful rocky
promontory surrounded by the sea. Nora was the first city of the
island, created by the Phoenicians. Once upon a time were existing
three harbors: one sheltered from the west winds and the others two
protected from the Mistral. The site has Carthaginian as well as
Roman remains. After a period of Roman prosperity there was a
decline, and in the 3rd century AD, the sea engulfed the city in a
natural disaster. Still visible today are the remains of the
Carthaginian warehouse and various Roman buildings, including baths
with splendid mosaics and a theatre, almost completely intact dating
from the height of the Empire. Some buildings can also be seen under
the water. We will also be able to admire the external part of
the little church where, every year during the first day in May,
important religious celebrations take place in the name of St.
Efisio. Going back to the hotel there wi'll be the possibility to
have a little shopping in the delicious Pula's Central Square.
