The marvelous ancient city of Nora<\/strong>, located on the southern coast of Sardinia<\/strong> near Cagliari<\/strong> on the promontory of Cape Pula, in the town of Pula<\/strong>. Its foundation is Phoenician or Nuragic and later Punic, it was the capital of Nora people<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Background of Nora.<\/strong><\/h5>\n

\"IMG_20150826_111116\"The place where is located the ancient city of Nora<\/strong> is dominated by the beautiful Spanish tower Coltellazzo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The structures that can be seen today are mostly from the period of the Roman<\/strong> phase, just because part of the Phoenician-Punic<\/strong> tracks were covered or even deleted by the changes made in the city by the Romans.<\/p>\n

It should even be the oldest city founded in Sardinia<\/strong>, this would be deduced from the Phoenician stele found therein.<\/p>\n

At the time of colonization by the Phoenicians<\/strong> about from the eighth century BC, the city of Nora was equipped with three ports<\/strong> of which today no trace remains and that at the time made it an important commercial center.<\/p>\n

As regards this historic period, thanks to the archaeological studies carried out on the site that are still ongoing, there have been discovered: a sacred area and a residential area<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

But it is during the Punic age<\/strong> that Nora became a center of economic, political and cultural relevance<\/strong>, reaching a high peak of prosperity.<\/p>\n

During this period we can say that it became one of the cities of the southern coast of Sardinia that enjoyed the highest importance, the most important archaeological remains<\/strong> come down to us are: the remains in the sea area and the temple dedicated to Tanit<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_20150826_111121\"The era of the Roman conquest<\/strong> began in 238 BC, of course most of all the architectural structures unearthed from the archaeological excavations and that are still visible today, date back to the Roman period.<\/p>\n

Certainly the city was inhabited until the eighth century AD, while its abandonment began in the fifth century AD.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In fact there were difficulties with the maritime trade due to the occupation by the Vandals.<\/p>\n

Following this, the citizens had to withdraw inland for a safety reason.<\/p>\n
