The Flavian Amphitheater is one of the two roman Amphitheater located in Pozzuoli. It was built a little bit later than the Coliseum by the same architects. The Amphitheater is near the Pozzuoli stop of the underground Linea 2 (Line 2) of Naples
Solfatara (volcano)
The Romans were already aware of the existence of the Solfatara since Imperial times. Strabone (66 b.C. - 24 a.C.) in his "Strabonis geographica" gives the most ancient written description we have, referring to the Solfatara as the "Forum Vulcani", dwelling of the God Vulcano, entrance to the Hades. The Solfatara opens up officially to visitor in the year 1900, although it was since ancient time immemorial destination for its renown volcanic phenomena, for the therapeutic properties of the sulphurous waters and for the hot saunas; it was fact included among the forty most famous baths of the Phlegreaen Fields since the Middle Ages.
There was no traveler of the 18th and 19th century who wouldn't place the Solfatara among his excursions whithin the so called "Grand Tour", an educational travel for the young scions of the European noble families.
The Baia Castle
The Fortress of Baia covers an area of 45,000 m2 and it is around 94 meters high above sea level. Today is the result of superimposed architectonic works over the centuries. Among the most important ones it is worth mentioning the works by Don Pedro Alvarez from Toledo, Don Emanuele Fonseca and ferdinand IV.
Serapeum
The Serapis Temple covers a large area in the lowest part of Pozzuoli. It is wrongly called "temple" because during the excavation in 1750 a statue of Egyptian God Serapis was found. It is on the contrary a marketplace dating back to the I-II century a.C.
