Archaeological Treasures

Pozzuoli, once the primary commercial port of the Roman Empire, preserves a dense concentration of archaeological sites. This list features the Flavian Amphitheater, the third-largest in Italy, and the Macellum, an ancient market showing evidence of seismic land movement. Nearby, the ruins of Cumae represent the first Greek colony on the Italian mainland. Key sites include the rare Stadio di Antonino Pio, the monumental Arco Felice Vecchio viaduct, and the Crypta Romana, a significant military tunnel through the volcanic tuff of the acropolis.
