Tour Itinerary and Archaeological Highlights
Piscina Mirabilis:
Begin your tour with a visit to the Piscina Mirabilis, an enormous ancient Roman cistern in Bacoli. This impressive structure, capable of holding 12,600 cubic meters of water, was built to supply the Roman fleet. Its vast vaulted chambers and intricate design showcase the engineering prowess of the Romans.
Cento Camerelle:
Next, explore the Cento Camerelle, an ancient complex of cisterns and tunnels in Baia. These interconnected chambers served as water storage for the grand villas of the Roman elite. The site offers a fascinating look into the advanced water management systems of the time.
Grotta della Dragonara:
Visit the Grotta della Dragonara, a cave system that was part of a luxurious Roman villa. This subterranean wonder, with its series of chambers and passages, is believed to have been used for water storage and possibly as a nymphaeum, a sanctuary dedicated to water nymphs.
Faro di Baia Trail:
Conclude your tour with a scenic hike along the Faro di Baia trail. This picturesque path offers stunning views of the Bay of Naples and the surrounding landscape. The trail leads to the Baia Lighthouse, providing a perfect end to your exploration of ancient water routes and engineering marvels.
