It is said that Nora was the first city in Sardinia, a magical place founded by the Phoenicians on ancient Nuragic ruins.
Conquered by the Romans in 238 BC, it became a municipality and capital of the Roman province of Sardinia and Corsica. The site located on the extreme part of the beach of the same name, is enriched by precious mosaics of the ancient residences, the remains of the ancient baths, and the temple of Aesculapius overlooking the sea in the extreme part of the peninsula.
In the largely intact theatre, theatrical and cultural events are still organised today with guests of international prominence.
