Campi Flegrei, a journey into the myth. Guided tour of the ancient Submerged City of Baia, sunk about 2000 years ago because of the bradisisma, aboard the boat from the transparent bottom that allows passengers to navigate observing the domus, polychrome mosaics and submerged finds comfortably seated below sea level. We will move to Pozzuoli with a visit to the Flavian Amphitheatre, one of the largest arenas built under Emperor Vespasiano. Suggestive is the visit of the underground that show the complex organization of the services for the operation of the shows. The first Christian martyrs took place in the arena and torture for Saint Gennaro was prepared here. We will continue the visit to the so-called Temple of Serapis, a deity venerated in Egypt and which combined elements of the ancient Egyptian Osiris and Bees. Considered the place of worship of Serapis because of the discovery of a statue of the god, it is actually the remains of the public market, Macellum Puteoli, in the heart of the commercial district of the city. On the columns you can see traces of shellfish, due to bradyseism for a certain period the Macellum came to be found below sea level. Lunch in the restaurant on the port of Pozzuoli to enjoy seafood delights accompanied by excellent Falanghina wine.
In the afternoon the guided walk will continue with a visit to the acropolis of Cuma, the oldest Greek colony in the Gulf of Naples. The temple of Apollo and the Roman crypt, opened again to the public, and the Cave of the Sibyl that amazes with the presence of a long corridor all dug in the tuff of the cliff, seat of the oracular cult newly reopened and brought to the ancient splendor. End of services.
