The submerged Archaeological Park of Baia (Naples)
The marine area
It is from the 2007 that the Underwater Archaeological Park of Baia has become protected sea area with the concession to the association Assodiving Flegreum represented by the Sub Center Campi Flegrei for the visit of its marvelous archaeological evidence through scuba diving.
The beautiful villas that stood out on this coastline in the course of time were gradually submerged by the bradyseism phenomena which still today characterize the Phlegraean area.
In Roman times, it played a role of primary importance. Pozzuoli, in fact, was an important commercial city, Baia was a holiday destination for the aristocracy and Miseno, before Ostia, was the seat of the Roman military fleet.
