About this activity

Visit the Cathedral of Pozzuoli and the Diocesan Museum is a unique experience, but the folks at Puteoli Sacra are always looking for new ways to embellish the visit. Impromptu events are also organized, for example.

The cathedral is a complex that arose in Greek or Samnite times as the city's capitolium. Originally, it was a tuff temple dedicated to the Capitoline Triad, consisting of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva.

The mixture of the two eras is highly suggestive. Thanks to the Puteoli Sacra project, you can learn about and appreciate the artistic production of the great painter Artemisia Gentileschi: The temple is, in fact, a rare example of a Christian holy place extensively decorated by a woman.

At the lower room of the museum you will find artifacts made by the children of the cooperative Regina Pacis for the project CONCRETE IDEA..

All the ways to visit the sacred part of the Earth District

For groups of at least 10 people and by reservation only, it is possible to visit the Basilica of Pozzuoli ending with an aperitif at a cost of €10: wine and taralli will be available to visitors in the courtyard of the ancient Church of the Purification. In case of rain, an indoor space will be provided.

Access to the Cathedral and Museum is also possible without having an aperitif at a cost of €8.

In celebration of International Women's Day, there will be a special event dedicated to Artemisia Gentileschi on March 8, with half-price admission for all women. The event, "The Art of Being a Woman," which includes admission and tasting with an aperitif, will be held at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.

On the occasion of Easter it is possible to take the tour from 9:30 am to 2:30 pm and 3 pm to 8 pm. On April 18, tours are open to the public at the same times and it is possible to participate in the Easter brunch with an additional charge of €7.

Brunch includes local delicacies such as tortano, cheeses, organic jams, pastiera, snowflakes and craft beer. For the under 35 and for the groups of more than 10 people the cost per person including visit and brunch is reduced a 10€.

Puteoli Sacra

Puteoli Sacra is a project born from a wonderful idea: beauty that saves, art as redemption. The immense heritage of the area of Pozzuoli, particularly the Earth District, uninhabited due to bradyseism comes back to life. Today it is a destination for tourists from all over the world: the management has been entrusted to boys from the prisons of Nisida and Pozzuoli at risk of social marginalization, who through art, culture, and the enhancement of the area, have become a symbol of hope for all, promoting an innovative model of social reintegration.

Friday aperitifs (May through November)

Every Friday Puteoli Sacra offers you a unique and different experience: theaperivisita!
After taking the guided tour of Puteoli Sacra, between 4:30 and 8:30 p.m. on the terrace you will be offered a small aperitif to end the activity on a high note. The tour includes admission to the Cathedral and the Diocesan Museum, where you can see paintings by Artemisia Gentileschi and Yvonne De Rosa's photography exhibition.
During the aperivisita you can enjoy excellent honey, cheese, mixed bruschetta and various appetizers with a nice glass prosecco.

Exciting visit to a beautiful and perhaps little known and visited place, but one that deserves it. The best thing was to learn that our guide is part of a social project to rehabilitate people who have had a prison experience. I recommend everyone and everyone to visit this wonderful little piece of our land and support this project!

Un posto poco conosciuto, la città antica posta al di sopra di quella moderna, con il porto ai suoi piedi. Luogo meraviglioso e suggestivo, pieno di vicoli e anfratti dove curiosare e scorgere il migliore panorama: tutto gratuitamente. La basilica apre al pubblico solo il sabato dopo le 18:00, è visitabile e quello che vi aspetta vi lascerà a bocca aperta: con l'altare a vista e delle meravigliose vetrate, noterete che convivono i tempi moderni e quelli arcaici. Non lasciatevi scappare quest'emozione di ripercorrere il mondo antico, esplorando la vecchia Puteoli che è un vero e proprio museo a cielo aperto. Da non perdere.
