The Phlegraean Fields (or Campi Flegrei) are among the world’s most geologically active sites, and visitors will be able to see geothermal and volcanic phenomena up close when they take a tour of the area. Tours often include the crater of Solfatara, the amphitheater of Pozzuoli, and the cave of the Cumean Sybil in Cuma. There’s also a museum dedicated to the site in Baia which holds artifacts from the various temples and structures built among the fields by the ancient Greeks and Romans.

The Highlights of the Volcanic Terrain

Solfatara

In the territory of the city of Pozzuoli, about 10 kilometers from Naples, you can find the crater of Solfatara formed about 4000 years ago. Solfatara has a diameter of 770 meters and characteristic are the gas fumes smelling of rotten eggs that escape through the Solfatars named after the crater. There is also an ancient Roman sauna here, where the volcanic gases were used medicinally. At the moment, unfortunately, the crater can not be visited due to a closure.

Cratere Degli Astroni

As a nature reserve, the green oasis of Astroni Crater is perfect for a quiet getaway. Many local plant and animal species thrive here, but the volcanic activity is not nearly as visible as at Solfatara.
