Campania is a unique land where nature both gives and takes. The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D., tragic for ancient populations, gifted us today the perfectly preserved ruins of Pompeii. In the same way, the volcanic phenomenon known as bradyseism, typical of the Phlegraean Fields, slowly sank part of the ancient Roman city of Baia beneath the sea — creating an unparalleled marvel: a sunken Roman city that you can explore comfortably from a boat.

Underwater Archaeological Park of Baia

At the bottom of the sea lies an entire Roman district: villas, spas, mosaics, statues, fish farms and sacred buildings. Thanks to Cymba, the modern boat with a transparent glass bottom, you don’t need to be a diver to enjoy this incredible site. Simply sit back and watch history unfold beneath your feet.

What You Will See Through the Glass Bottom

The onboard guide will illustrate the archaeological highlights, including:

The Nymphaeum of Emperor Claudius

The only structure certainly linked to Claudius’ imperial villa, adorned with statues and sacred spaces once used for ceremonies.

Imperial Villas and Temples

  • The Sosandra Complex
  • The so-called Temple of Venus
  • The Temple of Diana, dedicated to Julia Mamaea
  • The ancient access channel of the Lacus Baianus, once described by Latin authors

One of the most luxurious villas of the 1st century A.D., belonging to the influential Piso family.
You will see:

  • Thermal baths
  • Porticoes
  • Nymphaea
  • Fish farming tanks (piscinae)
  • The elegant harbor protected by a double row of “pilae”
    This residence is also linked to the famous Pisonian Conspiracy against Emperor Nero.

Villa with Prothyrum Entrance

A 120-meter-long Roman structure featuring:

  • Shops facing the ancient street
  • Residential and thermal areas
  • A central basin once decorated with statues (originals preserved in the Baia Castle Museum)

Optional Stop: Baia Castle & Archaeological Museum

After the tour, your driver can take you to the Aragonese Castle of Baia, home to one of the most important archaeological museums in the Phlegraean area.
