Parco sommerso di Baia, Marine protected area in Bacoli and Pozzuoli, Italy.
The underwater archaeological park contains numerous Roman ruins, including roads, mosaics, and villas submerged beneath the Mediterranean Sea at depths of five meters.
The area became submerged due to bradyseism, a geological phenomenon that caused the Roman coastline to sink approximately six to eight meters over 2000 years.
The Villa del Protiro, with its preserved mosaic floors and surrounding ancient taverns and shops, represents the luxurious lifestyle of Roman nobility.
Visitors can explore the archaeological site through glass-bottom boats, snorkeling, scuba diving, or the virtual reality experience called BAIAExperience.
The Ninfeo di Punta Epitaffio contains a submerged triclinium dining room from Emperor Claudius's era, where Romans held elaborate underwater feasts.
