A few tens of kilometres south-west of Cagliari stands one of the most important archaeological sites in Sardinia, a prosperous city, first Phoenician, then Carthaginian, finally a very important Roman centre, a true jewel handed down to us through three millennia. What remains of the flourishing city are fascinating ruins in the archaeological park of Pula, a few minutes from the tourist centre, and on display in the national archaeological museum of Cagliari. While snorkeling, you will admire Roman roads and remains in the depth of the isthmus, in Punta del Coltellazzo, dominated by a 16th century tower.
