The Bay of Naples, a striking fusion of history, archaeology, mythology, and geology, is perfectly captured by the Baia Underwater Archaeological Park.

Immersed in the sea due to bradyseism activity, the city of Baia is a pristine underwater archaeological wonder located in the volcanic Phlegraean Fields. It stands as an exquisite tribute to Roman grandeur in the Neapolitan region.

In its heyday, Baia was the Roman elite’s getaway destination. Emperors like Caesar and Nero built opulent villas in this spa town, drawn by its stunning landscapes and therapeutic hot springs.

Baia, as one of the world’s few underwater parks, offers a rare opportunity to intertwine archaeology with diving. Visitors can swim or dive amid historical ruins, bearing witness to Rome’s grandeur.

Artifacts from Baia’s watery depths, including ornate marble statues from the Nymphaeum, can be found at the Baia Museum, reminding visitors of a city that once flourished above the waves.

Dive into history with a snorkeling adventure in the sunken city of Baia. No need for scuba gear here; snorkeling provides a relaxed and accessible path to the underwater world of history. The shallow waters teem with easily reachable historical sites, the perfect setting for an unforgettable snorkeling journey.
