Archaeological Park of Cuma

The Archaeological Park of Cuma is located in the area of Cuma, near Naples, Italy.

It is one of the oldest and most significant archaeological sites in the region.

Cuma was one of the earliest Greek colonies founded in Italy around 750 BC and became an important cultural and economic center.

The archaeological park encompasses several sites that testify to the ancient greatness of the city.

One of the main points of interest is the Acropolis of Cuma, a hill that houses the remains of the Temple of Apollo and other ancient structures.

From here, visitors can enjoy a spectacular view of the Bay of Naples. Another significant attraction is the Cave of the Sibyl, a cavern associated with legends and myths from ancient Greece. It was believed that the Sibyl of Cuma, a seer and prophetess, offered prophecies and advice to visitors in the cave.

The archaeological park also includes the Forum of Cuma, the political and social center of the ancient city, and the so-called "minor antiquities" which include tombs, walls, and other archaeological remains.

Exploring the Archaeological Park of Cuma provides visitors with an opportunity to immerse themselves in the history and art of ancient Greece and admire the magnificent coastal landscapes of the region.

It is a fascinating place for archaeology enthusiasts and anyone wishing to gain a deeper understanding of Campania's rich historical heritage.
