Cratere degli Astroni, Nature reserve and extinct volcanic crater in Naples, Italy.

The reserve spans 296 hectares with three major hills, Imperatrice, Rotondella, and Pagliaroni, surrounded by dense forest and three volcanic lakes.

The crater formed through multiple eruptions around 3700 years ago, later becoming a hunting ground for the Bourbon kings in the 18th century.

The WWF manages this protected area since 1987, maintaining paths and observation points for research on local birds and wildlife populations.

Visitors access the reserve through Via Agnano Astroni 468 in Naples, with 15 kilometers of marked trails leading through different natural environments.

The crater contains three distinct ecological zones, from Mediterranean scrub at the rim to humid forest at the bottom, creating varied habitats.
