Baiae, Gulf Of Puteoli
Baiae, located on the Gulf of Puteoli ten miles west of Naples, is an ancient Roman town filled with remnants from that time. This city was a popular resort for the rich and was home to many gorgeous villas, including those of Nero and Julius Ceaser. Due to volcanic activity, over half of this ancient city is now submerged underwater. The public is welcome to visit this site and it is one of the few underwater archeological parks in the world. Visitors report feeling awed by the ancient structures and overwhelmed by the thought that a natural occurrence, such as volcanic activity, could cause nearly any city to fall underwater at any time.
