Pozzuoli is located in the heart of Campi Flegrei, a volcanic area that includes a series of craters and fumaroles, making it one of the most geologically active areas in Europe. The city has a beautiful marina, where you can walk along the sea and admire the view of the Gulf of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.

The Flavian Amphitheatre of Pozzuoli is one of the most important and fascinating monuments of the city, as well as one of the largest Roman amphitheaters in Italy, after the Colosseum. Dating back to the first century AD.C., was built under Emperor Vespasian and inaugurated by his successor Titus. The visit to the monument allows you to walk through the ruins and admire the underground galleries, once used for the passage of gladiators and animals. These underground passages are one of the most fascinating aspects, offering an idea of how the shows were performed and the great organization they required.

The combination of history, archaeology and impressive architectural beauty makes the Flavian Amphitheatre a must-see for those visiting Pozzuoli.

Lake Lucrino is surrounded by lush vegetation, with a variety of aquatic plants and trees creating an ideal habitat for numerous species of birds and other animals.
The waters of the lake are very warm, thanks to the presence of hot springs, and in the past they were exploited for therapeutic purposes. The surrounding area is also rich in fumaroles and sulphur springs, which contribute to the natural charm of the place.

Lake Averno is one of the most evocative and mysterious lakes of the Phlegraean Fields. It is a lake of volcanic origin and has a strong historical, mythological and natural value. Its beauty, combined with its antiquity, makes it a fascinating place for those who love history, mythology and nature. In ancient times, the lake was considered a mysterious place, often associated with the realm of the dead. The Greeks called it "Aornos", meaning "without birds", because it was believed that the waters were so dark and disturbing that birds could not fly over them. According to mythology, the lake was the entrance to Hell, the underground kingdom of Hades. The poet Virgil in the Aeneid described the journey of the hero Aeneas across Lake Averno to reach the underworld, making this place legendary in ancient literature.

It is located on the coast, overlooking the Gulf of Pozzuoli, and offers spectacular views of the sea, the Bay of Miseno and Mount Vesuvius. It is a promontory that extends towards the sea, creating a point that fits into the gulf, making the landscape particularly suggestive.

Lake Fusaro is a small lake of volcanic origin, surrounded by lush nature and famous for its scenic beauty, as well as its historical and cultural importance. The lake is connected to the sea by a canal and overlooks the Gulf of Pozzuoli, creating a natural environment of great charm.
