About Pula

The city of Pula has about 7000 inhabitants, but in summer it becomes a destination for some 45,000 tourists, attracted by the clearness of its sea and the spectacle of its vegetation, in many areas still harsh and primitive. Once a center dedicated to agriculture, Pula has grown enormously over the years, becoming one of the major tourist centers of southern Sardinia. A few kilometers from the city of Pula there is Nora, one of Sardinia’s most important archaeological sites dating back to the Phoenician time.
