The so called Arch of Trajan, was as the name suggests, built during Emperor Trajan's reign between 114 and 117 A.D. It is considered to be the best preserved roman arch in the world as it was incorporated in the city walls during the medieval times as the Golden Gate. It was really noteworthy with scenes of peace looking towards the city center, and scenes of war looking outwards.

From the villa Jovis, we hiked to the famous Arco naturale, which is an elegant arch of 18 meters high and 12 meters wide. This beautiful arch is carved into the white limestone rock, resulting from geological erosion. We saw that the arch hanged over the sea, providing wonderful panoramic views over the Gulf of Naples. Then, we went down to the Grotte di Matromania; our guide explained us that this natural cave was transformed in Roman times into a luxurious nymphaeum, that has disappeared. Altogether, I highly recommend to hike the fantastic Arco naturale!!! It’s a peaceful paradise.
