Towering over the azure sea of Nora since the 14th century, it was closed to the public for eight years. However, after an initial restoration and safety measures, the Torre del Coltellazzo is ready to reopen its doors to visitors. From its summit, visitors can enjoy a panoramic view of Nora's priceless beauty, including the archaeological excavations that extend to its outskirts, the lagoon, and the Church of Sant'Efisio. Starting Monday, the Torre del Coltellazzo will once again be open to visitors, adding a valuable addition to Pula's cultural offerings.

"We strongly supported the reopening of this place steeped in history," explains Mayor Walter Cabasino. "We are returning a place of great importance to our town to residents and tourists. Collaboration with the Regional Directorate of National Museums has been crucial." Manuela Serra, Councilor for Culture and Public Education, has already outlined the next goals: "With the tower, we will expand our cultural offerings, but above all, we will be able to launch projects involving the town's schools."

Like the Nora Archaeological Park, the Torre del Coltellazzo will be managed by the Pula Cultura Diffusa Foundation. " We'll begin tours starting Monday, one in the morning and two in the evening. The goal is to also allow visitors to experience the outdoor spaces through various events. The tower will also be enhanced through innovative projects such as virtual tours, which have been allowing visitors to better understand the Nora excavations for years." Angelo Tolu, vice president of the Foundation , adds: "The tower is a symbol of our region. Reopening it to visitors is of great importance because it allows visitors to complete their visit to Nora. The credit for this goes to Mayor Cabasino, who has done everything to restore it to the public." Valentina Uras, head of the Regional Directorate of National Museums, explains the terms of the agreement signed with the Municipality for the site's enhancement : "The Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism doesn't have the staff to manage it, which is why collaboration with the municipal administration will be crucial. Keeping the Torre del Coltellazzo open means offering visitors a complete view of this area, from Nora's heyday up until 1500."
