10 km from Forte Village, we find the archeological ruins at Nora, an important town founded by the Phoenicians in the 8th century B.C. as both a strategic trade center on their Mediterranean routes and a key rest point before tackling the long trip to Brittany.
Nora was later conquered by the Carthaginians, the great sailors and warriors, and then, following the Punic Wars, it fell to the Romans around 238 B.C.
Visitors today will find much of the site still well preserved, including the ruins of the thermal bath mosaics, the theatre, the Carthaginian dwellings and the ancient paving stones of the Roman roads. The temples are still immersed in vivid history, to say nothing of a splendid Nuraghic well, vestige of one of the most mysterious, most fascinating cultures in Western history, which, more than three thousand years ago, founded the only indigenous kingdom our island has ever seen.
