The 10 Best Historic Sites in Pozzuoli, Campania

May 7, 2022 Alice Mieles

Just a few miles west of Naples (and easily reached by train), the ancient seaside city of Pozzuoli is probably best known for its bradyseism, a raising and lowering of the Earth’s surface due to underground volcanic activity. Many sites remain from Pozzuoli’s days as an important Roman port, including the Macellum or Temple of Serapis, which for many years was submerged under water. The Flavian Amphitheater (Italy’s third-largest) and the Cathedral of Rione Terra are other popular attractions.

Baia Archeological Park

Reviewed By BellaRoma3 - Rome, Italy

If you love history, archeology or just are curious about Ancient Rome this site is fantastic. You get a real picture of why the area originally Greek, was so prized for the romans and emperors as a zone to relax in the healing waters of the zone enjoying the spectacular views of the bay. It’s also lovely to explore without experiencing lines or crowds. You may pass one or two along the but the experience is incredible. But see it all and DON’T miss baths of mercury! That’s where the must beautiful site is (the indoor pool/ frigidarium)
