The Underwater Archaeological Park of Baia

Overview

The sunken city

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. The more adventurous visitors can have a go at snorkelling or diving at one of the many dive sites. 

Let yourself be amazed by the well-preserved, elegant details of the Villa del Protiro, with its mosaic floors, or the magnificence of the temples of Diana, Venus and Mercury. These were originally considered places of worship but turned out to be parts of an ancient spa complex.
