Excursions to Pozzuoli, Campi Flegrei
Some places are truly privileged by Mother Nature. This is the case of a small town located in Campania, and precisely in the province of Naples, Pozzuoli.
Located on the homonymous gulf, Pozzuoli is located in a volcanic area, the Phlegraean Fields (i.e. ; egrave; burning fields), which includes a volcano still in operation, the Solfatara. During the visit to the volcano you can observe impressive fumarolic activities: fumaroles, mofetes and hot mud jets. Impressive is the phenomenon of boiling sand that is observed in the so-called “big mouth”. In this area the steam is released at a very high temperature, so the grains of sand rise, assuming the appearance of a boiling liquid... A real show offered by nature!
In addition to being located on the sea, Pozzuoli is also invaded and submerged by thermomineral waters that spring from the underground in proximity to the coast. You can take advantage of it by visiting the Phlegraean Fields, because the thermal baths (called Nero's Stoves) are set in this beautiful scenery.
The therapeutic properties of the thermal waters were already exploited by the ancient Romans. The numerous testimonies of their presence, such as large amphitheaters, sanctuaries and villas, are scattered throughout the territory. In Pozzuoli they are mainly concentrated in the basement of the oldest district of the town, Rione Terra.
