Baia - Castello di Baia

The Aragonese Castle was built by Alfonso of Aragon at the end of the fifteenth century for the defense of the Gulf of Pozzuoli from the Moors. The building consists of a series of fortifications linked together. The castle has a strategic position that allows for a wide view that prevented the enemies from approaching. The castle of Baia is home to the Archaeological Museum of the Phlegraean Fields for its dominant position compared to the archaeological sites of the Phlegraean Campi.
