Nora

The most intriguing excursion from Cagliari is the drive to the town of Pula. Nora, just south of Pula, is the island's oldest city, founded by the Phoenicians before falling to the Carthaginians and later the Romans. On a narrow peninsula at Cape Pula, Nora lies 28km (18 miles) southwest of Cagliari. Ruins include a Roman theater of the republican era (in fairly good condition), the Temple of Tanit, and outlines of Roman roads. You'll also see the 11th-century church of Sant'Efisio and a watchtower from the 16th century.
