Where is Pozzuoli?

Long corridor of arches inside the Flavian Amphitheatre, with broken architectural elements lining the floor. — **A Tunnel Through Time: Walk the Vaulted Veins of Roman Entertainment**

Beneath Pozzuoli’s streets lies a perfectly preserved network of brick arches and shadows, once part of a grand theatre of blood and spectacle. Even without a guide, every echo here tells its own tale.

Aerial view of Lake Miseno and the surrounding coastline, including the Miliscola beach and breakwaters in the evening light. — **Swim Where Rome’s Fleet Once Floated**

Once part of an inner naval harbour, Lake Miseno is now a calm lagoon nestled between sandy beaches and hillside homes. This is where warships rested—and where today’s visitors soak up the sun with history beneath their feet.
