About Pozzuoli
Pozzuoli sits on the Phlegraean Fields, a volcanic landscape where Roman engineering, Greek settlement and slow seismic change left some of Italy's most unusual historic sites. Much of that history lies underwater in the protected Baia park, which you can explore on the Baia: Semi-Submarine Tour of the Underwater City, while the Phlegraean Fields: Pozzuoli Guided Walking Tour Through History and Views covers the town's Roman streets and amphitheatre on foot.

Frequently asked questions
Pozzuoli's history is unusually visible and unusually mobile. The Phlegraean Fields are volcanic, so Roman marketplaces, temples and villas now sit partly below sea level or on ground that rises and falls with bradyseism. That means you can walk Roman streets in town and then see submerged Roman ruins in the Baia marine park on the same trip.
