Svelaria Tour to the excavations of Cuma and Bacoli

Svelaria Tour to the excavations of Cuma and Bacoli

Cuma was the oldest Greek colony of the West surrounded by an imposing fortification of tuff blocks. The archaeological park currently includes the acropolis, the sacred area where temples are located and the Antro della Sibilla, a dark place in which the oracle prophesies its prophecies. The guided tour will unfold in the upper part of the park currently open to the public, including the acropolis with its temples and the Sibyl's Cave, to end with a splendid panoramic view of the beach below and the agora.

Very few remains can still be seen today of the port and of the ancient city of Miseno. The greatest monument we have come to is certainly the Piscina Mirabilis, a colossal tank built for the water supply of the imperial fleet. You will have the opportunity to visit the ancient cistern excavated entirely in the tuff and admire its impressive 5-nave structure, capable of holding up to 12,000 cubic meters of water.
