Along with Pozzuoli, Monte di Procida and Quarto, Bacoli is one of the main municipalities in the volcanic area of the Phlegraean Fields rising to the west of Naples. The entire Phlegrean area is characterized by the alignment of 7 volcanoes distributed along a single axis that includes Cape Miseno, the port of Miseno, the center of Bacoli, the Gulf of Baia, and Punta Epitaffio.

The city of Bacoli was founded by the Romans under the name of Trunks and soon became an important resort of ancient Rome. In Augustan times it was the most important military outpost and political and cultural center along with the nearby Bay. After the fall of the Roman Empire, the town suffered a sharp decline, mainly due to geological phenomena related to bradyseism.

Of ancient Bacoli, many monuments and archaeological sites have survived to the present day, including the Piscina Mirabilis, the Underwater Park of Baia, and much more. In short, the preserved treasures are many and all of great historical and cultural interest. To enjoy such beauty you can purchase one of the many experiences and tours that allow you to see the 5 most beautiful places in the Phlegrean country.

To get started, you can take advantage of this guided tour in the historical center of Bacoli. Specifically, you will see the Villa Comunale, Jorit's Cumana Sibyl mural and the route of the Cento Camerelle, a huge hydraulic structure connected to a villa that belonged to Nero. Then you'll admire the Church of St. Anne and the Tomb of Agrippina along the Marina Grande beachfront.

Another great attraction of Bacoli is undoubtedly the Mirabilis Pool that you can visit thanks to this guided tour.

It is entirely excavated in a tufa wall, and a large barrel vault can be seen on the ceiling.

Especially interesting is also the guided excursion to the Aragonese Castle of Baia every first Sunday of the month. The fortress is located on a promontory overlooking the sea and was erected in 1495 by the Aragonese as a defense against attacks from the sea. Today the castle houses the Archaeological Museum of the Phlegraean Fields And several art exhibitions.
