Scavi archeologici di Cuma

The excavations reveal ancient Greek and Roman structures, including temples, an amphitheater, and residential buildings across multiple terraces of Mount Cuma.

Founded in 730 BCE by Greek settlers from Chalcis, Cuma became the first Greek colony in Italy before falling under Roman control in 338 BCE.

The site contains the Temple of Apollo, later converted into a Christian basilica, and the Temple of Jupiter at the highest point of the acropolis.

Visitors can access the archaeological site with a 5-euro entrance ticket, and groups are limited to 50 people every 30 minutes for preservation purposes.

The Sibyl's Cave, a 130-meter-long trapezoidal tunnel carved into the volcanic rock, served as the sanctuary for the famous Oracle of Cumae.
