The Green Pass is currently required for the visit and masks are compulsory. Admission is 5 euros.

During our visit, you could watch the archaeologists excavating. Very interesting!

The Spiaggia di Nora and the Chiesa di Sant'Efisio, almost on the beach, are also worth a visit.

Located south-west of Cagliari, Nora is an important archaeological site that has spanned three millennia of history. Founded as a Phoenician city in the 8th century BC, it became a vital commercial center under Carthaginian rule. Conquered by the Romans in 238 BC, it prospered in the 1st century AD. with a population of 8,000 inhabitants and was the central point of the island's roads. Excavations have revealed Phoenician-Punic remains, including the temple of Tanit and the stele of Nora, the oldest document in the West that mentions the name "Sardinia". In the park, you will find vestiges such as the baths and the Forum square, with temples and stately homes along the coast.

Nora was founded by the Phoenicians and was later inhabited by the Punic and Romans. It is believed that the vandals that occupied Sardinia in the 6th century contributed to the city's demise. In the early Middle Ages, the city was abandoned due to pirate attacks. Its ruins lie south of the city of Pula in the province of Cagliari on a narrow, boot-shaped peninsula, the southernmost tip of which the locals call "Sa punta 'e su koloru" (snake cape). In the imperial era was Nora Municipium.
