Nuoro
Nuoro, the capital of the eponymous province, is located in central Sardinia. In the past neither the Romans, nor the Carthaginians or any other foreign conquerors have succeeded in invading this area. Because of that fact, the area has established its own culture and traditions. In the neighbouring villages you can still see the traditional costumes, especially during the local festivities.
The landscape is hilly and wooded. The town is located on a hill, surrounded by the Gennargentu and the Supramonte. Artists, writers and poets gather in the Barbagia region. Tourists are slowly starting to discover Nuoro. We recommend visiting the Santa Maria della Neve Church, dating back to 1836; the historic city centre and the Corso Garibaldi; the Museo Speleo-Archeologico and the house of Grazia Deledda, the Sardinian novelist who was awarded the Nobel Prize for literature in 1926.
