A forgotten town
This is the bay and beach of Nora, a town founded by the Phoenicians (8th century BC) in that promontory visible in the backgroud. The town was later conquered by the Romans.
After the fall of Roman empire the place was too dangerous to live in for the raids of the Moors, so the inhabitants abandoned it and built another town few kilometries inland called Pula, still existing today. Over the years most of Nora sank into the sea or was covered by vegetation so no traces of it remained. And the people of Pula forgot completely of its existence, until last century when a storm took out the sand from the beach and uncovered tombs and ruins. A subsequent archeological digging brought to light the ruins of the ancient town together with many artefacs.
