Longola, Archaeological site and park in Poggiomarino, Italy.

The archaeological complex extends across artificial islets connected by canals, revealing a settlement pattern adapted to the wetland environment along the Sarno River.

Excavations in 2000 uncovered remains from the Middle Bronze Age through the 6th century BC, including wooden structures, vessels, and advanced hydraulic systems.

The settlement contains workshops where artisans produced items from metal, bone, glass paste, and amber, indicating a sophisticated manufacturing center.

The site forms part of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii network and is accessible via the SS 268 highway or A30 motorway exits at Poggiomarino.

The wet environment preserved many organic materials, providing a complete archaeological record of daily life in prehistoric southern Italy.
