The Municipality of Pula contains the ''frazione'' (subdivision) Santa Margherita di Pula. == History == Pula is located near the ancient city of Nora. Nora was built by Phoenicians around the eighth century B.C. Pula may have arisen from pre-existing nuragic settlements, of which there are some testimonials, or according to the legend by the Iberians conducted in Sardinia by Norax. During the following centuries, the city was ruled by the Punics, and then by the Romans. The latter raised it for a short time in the capital of the province of Corsica et Sardinia, and then gave that title to the nearby Caralis (modern Cagliari). After the end of the Roman Empire, like many other ancient Sardinian coastal cities, because of the Saracen raids, the city of Nora ceased to exist from about the eighth century AD. During the Middle Ages, the area, then called ''Padulis de Nura'' (Nora Marsh), Pula was part of the Giudicato of Cagliari and by the Aragonese and Spanish, and it was entrusted to various feudal lords. From the eighteenth century, there was a revival of agriculture, mainly due to agricultural reclamation (initially promoted by religious groups, and then the state). Agricultural reclamation intensified the development of olive and fruit growing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pula, Sardinia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
