Nora and the park of Pula

 

The city of Nora was the first Phoenician city of Sardinia, soon becoming the commercial hub and port. From this thriving city remain the magnificent ruins of the Archaeological Park of Pula, which can be easily reached from Forte Village.
Inside the archaeological site, you can admire the ancient baths, the Piazza del Foro, colonial temples, the necropolis and the splendid amphitheater.

The exploration continues under water: you can admire Roman roads and remains in the depths of the isthmus, at Punta del Coltellazzo, overlooked by a 16th century tower.

St Efisio
A Window of Tradition

The celebration in honour of St Efisio takes place in Cagliari on 1 May and consists of a procession that has distant origins. It is one of the most ancient religious celebrations in Italy and the most engaging one in all of Sardinia. Taking part in this festival is like entering the heart of a tradition that has lasted more than three centuries.

The procession commences in the Cagliari district of Stampace, where the simulacrum of St Efisio is transported through the streets of the city followed by all the faithful. The procession ends in Pula, where the statue remains for 4 days before returning to Cagliari.
