Bagnoli, Western seaside quarter in Naples, Italy.
Bagnoli is a western quarter of Naples situated along the coast, covering a large area and today marked by modern infrastructure and new buildings. The zone borders the Gulf of Pozzuoli and offers access to beaches and port facilities.
In the early 1900s, a large steel mill was built here, shaping the area for decades and drawing many people to work. After the decline of industry, the quarter went through a period of major change and is now being redeveloped.
Locals view this quarter as a place of renewal after years of decline, with public spaces and green areas now shaping the streetscape. People gather in newly designed parks and along the waterfront to spend time outdoors and connect with the sea.
The area is well equipped with public paths that invite walking and outdoor activities. Visitors should note that infrastructure is still developing, so not all areas are equally accessible at the same time.
Located in this area is the Città della Scienza, a large science museum featuring interactive exhibitions that draw people of all ages. The museum teaches children and adults about natural sciences and technology through hands-on experiences.
