Necropoli Romana

It is a very important monument for the large number of tombs. The buildings were built in the ancient gates of Pozzuoli at different ages and from ancient times they have been transformed into Christian cemeteries. Some of these buildings today are used as cellars or olive trees for sheep and goats. The presence of the numerous semicircular cavities is explained by the fact that the pagans used cremation for the dead. Some tombs still have the interior decoration intact, but almost all the tombs over time have been tampered with or subject to theft.
