Volcanic Wonders

The Phlegraean Fields, or Campi Flegrei, is a vast volcanic caldera west of Naples characterized by diverse geothermal activity. This list features key geological sites including Monte Nuovo, a cinder cone formed during a 1538 eruption, and the Solfatara crater with its active fumaroles. Visitors can explore the Astroni nature reserve located within a volcanic crater, the ancient Roman military engineering of the Grotta di Cocceio tunnel, and historic thermal springs like the Stufe Antiche that utilize natural volcanic steam.

The largest and most active fumarole within the Solfatara crater. It continuously discharges pressurized sulfurous steam at temperatures reaching approximately 160 degrees Celsius.

Grotta di Cocceio
