About this tour

The Mirabilis Pool is a beautiful archaeological site from the Roman era that can be admired in the municipality of Bacoli. To visit it, we offer a guided excursion that will allow you to learn all the secrets and curiosities about this fascinating place.

Built in the Augustan age on the northwest side of the Gulf of Naples, the Piscina Mirabilis originally served as a drinking water cistern. Today it represents the second largest cistern built by the Romans after the Basilica Cistern in Istanbul and served to supply water to the many ships that made up the Classis Misenensis Of the Roman navy. Instead, the name Piscina Mirabilis was given to it in the late seventeenth century.

The Piscina Mirabilis was thus the final reservoir of one of the most important Roman aqueducts, theAugustan Aqueduct, which transported the waters of Serino to Naples and the Phlegraean Fields. It was entirely excavated in the tuff of the hill that rises in front of the port and has a capacity of more than 12,000 cubic meters.

A barrel-vaulted ceiling supported by 48 cruciform-section pillars can be seen at the top. The wall structure was developed in opus reticulatum and is lined with waterproofing material. At the bottom then is a 20×5-meter limaria pool that was formerly used as a periodic settling and emptying tank.

Don't waste any more time and hurry up to book your ticket!
