Located 35 km away from Cagliari Airport, there is a niche village, called Pula, on the beaches of the Mediterrenean Sea. Its main bay is called Nora.
Pausania founded Nora, first village on the Island, by the Phoenician between the IX-VIII B.C. centuries, in Norax. The Nora Stone, discovered here in XVII century, is considered among the most ancient written European documents. The archeological site was also dominated by Carthago, then the Roman Empire after 238 B.C. The decline of the Empire during IV century resulted in the abandon of the site during VIII century of our Era.
During summer evenings, Piazza del Popolo is highly reccomended to enjoy a good coffee, restaurants and ice-creams. It is an ideal spot to experience the local vibe. Pula is also an exceptional archeological village to add on your “to do” list, as part of mythical location of the surroundings.
