Pula

Overview

A corner of history and tranquillity in southern Sardinia

If you're on a voyage of discovery to Sardinia, you must not miss a visit to Pula. The village is only a few kilometres from Cagliari. The origins of the town date back as far as Phoenician times, although the town has since passed under various different rulers, including the Pisans and Aragonese.

The centre of Pula is home to some interesting buildings, such as the neoclassical Villa Santa Maria, designed by Cagliari architect Gaetano Cima, or the Romanesque church of Sant'Efisio, the site of the saint's martyrdom according to tradition.

Pula is an excellent starting point for exploring the surrounding area. Pay a visit to the archaeological site of Nora, which has witnessed centuries of history. It now covers four hectares and contains some of the best-preserved mosaics in Sardinia.

The area's coastline is not to be overlooked. There are many places to stop, such as the Is Figus beach, in the Bay of Nora, andSu Guventeddu, perfect for families with children. Surfing enthusiasts can instead head for the Campumatta beach.
