Campi Flegrei - Solfatara

"Flegraios" in Greek means blazing, this already points out the main feature of that vaste plain territory which spreds from the river Sebeto, north of Neaples, up to Cuma. All the territory, in fact, is riched with phenomena of volcanism, finding its ut most exspression in the Solfatara of Pozzuoli, where "moffettes", Fumaroles and mud volcanoes, are in costant activity. Travelling by gradual steps, we encounter the Agnano basin, at a short distance from the Fuorigrotta district housing an important thermal Spa, rich with particular and beneficial radioactive water and mud-baths.

Across tha Domitiana road we arrive to Pozzuoli. In the town we can also admire the Flavio Amphitheatre and, going towards the port, the temple dedicated to the Goddess Serapis, the columns of which emerge from the sea water, its level modified by the bradiyseism; I.E. uplifting and lowering of the crust of the heart.
The ruins of the villas built by the Romans that made famous the town of Baia are still visible, some of these are submerged by the sea. Baia was considered the most luxurios seaside resort of ancient times. In Baia we can admire the castle of the archeological site. Not too far away lies Cuma, one of the first greek settlements in Italy, world-famous for the "Cave of Sibiyl" in which the oracles were given and for the temple to Jupiter.In the Flegreian Plains the Fusare Lake with the Vanvitellian House and the Averno Lake were the ancients placed the entrance to hell and to which the Caves of the Sibyl are connected, are to be visited
