Province of Nuoro, Administrative province in Sardinia, Italy.
Description
Nuoro is an administrative province in central-eastern Sardinia with mountainous terrain spread across numerous small towns and villages. The landscape features rugged hills, valleys, and rural communities that form the backbone of the region's geography.
History
The province was created in 1927 through territorial division and underwent boundary adjustments in subsequent decades. Its establishment marked an administrative reorganization of the island's interior.

Practical
The province is crisscrossed by mountain roads connecting its communities, with a slower pace of travel between locations. Visitors should expect longer journey times and can use local bus services to reach the main towns.
