The tour of the city of Pozzuoli, founded with the name of Dicearchia (right government) and ancient port in Roman times, includes a visit to the Flavian Amphitheater, with its underground still perfectly legible, near the Solfatara, the largest caldera d 'Europe. Continuing towards the sea we will visit the monumental temple of Serapis, the ancient market of the city, through which it will be possible to observe the famous phenomenon of bradyseism. In addition, a walk through the picturesque streets of the historic center of the city dominated by the famous Rione Terra can not be missed. The tour includes a visit to the archaeological excavations of Cuma, one of the oldest Greek colonies and, according to some historians, the site from which the first people left who founded the famous city of Partenope on the nearby islet of Megaride. Through the visit to the archaeological park it will be possible to admire the remains of the acropolis, with the temples of Apollo and Jupiter, and some remains of the lower city such as the temples of Italici and the Forum, the thermal building known as Masseria Grande, the amphitheater, the Arco Felice. In addition to the excavation, it will be possible to visit the suggestive cave of the Sibyl and subsequently embark on the nature trail on the shores of Lake Averno, the mythological gateway to the underworld. The tour includes a visit to the remains of the residential complex known as the Terme di Baia, a favorite location by the Roman aristocracy. The archaeological structures are arranged on terraces facing the sea and connected by ramps and steps, along the way it will be possible to admire the remains of domus and thermal complexes such as the villa dell'ambulatio and the temple of Sosandra.
