Pula is situated on the west coast of the Gulf of Cagliari (Km 32, ss 195). Its importance is due to its beautiful sea and to its history. The nearness of the famuos Forte Village and of the very well frequented golf-course Is Molas, makes Pula a well-known tourist attraction.

Just few steps from here you may visit the archeological excavations of the old Roman -Punic city of Nora. There is a beautiful landscape around Is Molas. The remains of ancient civilities are witnesses of centuries of history and, Roman and Genoese influences are present together in a charming and evocative setting. Just few minutes from the built-up area of Pula, you may visit the remains of the ancient city of Nora, which had been founded by the Phoenicians, then it had been occupied by the Carthaginians and successively conquered by the Romans. The three civilities are still visible because of different archelogical discoveries: visitors, walking through the old streets, may see a necropolis, a Punic temple, a Roman theatre and other builings of different periods. There are different hypothesis: Nora could have been destructed by a terrible fire, or perhaps the inhabitants cuold have leaved it little by little. Archaeologists are trying to recollect the development and the end of Nora, because there are no evidences about its last period.
