Pula municipal authorities have initiated the formal administrative process to designate the archaeological site of Nora as a Regional Archaeological Park. Recent technical sessions held in the Pula City Council Chamber mark the first official step toward integrating the site’s historical, archaeological, and environmental assets into a unified management framework.

The proposed project encompasses a significant geographic scope, extending from the Nora lagoon to the island of San Macario. According to local officials, the initiative seeks to create a shared model for the protection and enhancement of the area’s tangible and intangible heritage.

To facilitate this transition, the administration has established four specialized working groups. Two of these groups are tasked with addressing the technical requirements for the protection and management of the historical assets, while the remaining two are focusing on engagement with local economic stakeholders and productive sectors. These discussions have already identified key challenges and potential growth areas for the complex.

Pula Mayor Walter Cabasino emphasized that the project is designed to systematize existing resources through a strategic development plan. “The shared analysis has highlighted significant opportunities and untapped potential,” Cabasino stated. The primary objectives of the park’s establishment include fostering regional economic development, increasing tourism attractiveness, and generating new employment opportunities for the local community.

This administrative phase is intended to streamline the management of one of Sardinia’s most significant archaeological sites, ensuring that protection measures align with modern tourism and economic goals.
