Nisida is a small volcanic island belonging to the Phlegraean Islands archipelago. It is connected to the mainland (Bagnoli/Coroglio area) by a long concrete pier built around 1936. Today the island is not freely accessible to the public as it hosts a Juvenile Penal Institute and a military garrison. Its name derives from the Greek Nisìdes, meaning "small island".
