Nuoro

The city extends across the slopes of Monte Ortobene at an elevation of 554 meters above sea level in the mountainous region of Sardinia.

The settlement evolved from a small village called Nugorus in the 12th century to become a provincial capital in 1927, incorporating parts of Cagliari and Sassari provinces.

The National Archaeological Museum and Sardinian Ethnographic Museum contain collections that document the Nuragic civilization and local traditions of the region.

The municipality connects to major Sardinian cities through the SS 131 DCN highway network and regular ARST bus services operate throughout the province.

Local women from a single family preserve the tradition of making su filindeu, an extremely rare pasta variety specific to this region.
