Overview
Discover a place in the Gulf of Naples where you can literally immerse yourself in centuries of history and culture. An underwater archaeological site with perfectly preserved streets, villas, baths, statues and many other ancient Roman artefacts from when Baia was renowned throughout the empire for its waters rich in sulphur, beneficial to the mind and body.
The Underwater Archaeological Park of Baia extends between Bacoli and Pozzuoli, a protected marine area where the beauty of nature is intertwined with fascinating history and archaeology. You can board a glass bottom boat to admire what the sea hides beneath the surface from the comfort of your seat.
