This weekend I decide to visit one of the provincial capitals of the Sardinian province, located at 549 meters above sea level, Nuoro who with its traditions rooted in the Sardinian hinterland and its cultural heritage has always fascinated visitors from all over the world.

The city, which is about 100km from the nearest port of Olbia, has a breathtaking view with the sea, 30km away, which is glimpses beyond the mountains in the east. I start my visit with the central square of the city. Piazza Sebastiano Satta was built by the architect Costantino Nivola, in honor of the homonymous poet native of Nuoro Sebastiano Satta. I then visit the Cathedral of Santa Maria delle Neve, built only in 1850 in honor of the patron saint of the city.

Inside, I admire numerous oil paintings by artists from the 19th and 20th century. I continue with the Archaeological Museum of Nuoro where numerous finds dating from prehistory to the Middle Ages are preserved. Visit that certainly deserves not only for the quantity and type of exhibits visible, but also to better understand the history and above all the origins of this city. I will end my visit with the Museum of Sardinian Life and Popular Traditions.

Inside there are numerous findings of great interest such as traditional clothes, fabrics, objects of everyday life, Art Nouveau and Spanish style furniture of the 18th century and still musical instruments.
