Explore the UNESCO site of Nora, an ancient city along Sardinia’s coast. Roman and Phoenician ruins are revealed, including a well-preserved theater and the Carthaginian warehouses.

Drive along the south-west coast of Sardinia to Nora, on the same road traditionally taken each May by thousands of pilgrims who are following the trail of Sant‘ Efisio, a Roman soldier and Christian who was martyred in 303AD by the Emperor Diocletian.
