View of Lake Averno from the Trail to Monte Nuovo

Highlight • Viewpoint

Lake Averno is a lake of volcanic origin located near Pozzuoli. According to myth, it is the gateway to the underworld, probably due to the sulfurous fumes that rose from it in antiquity. The lake is visited by Aeneas in the Aeneid, guided by the Sibyl, to reach the Kingdom of the Dead. Historically, in the Augustan age, it became the site, along with the nearby Lake Lucrino, of the so-called Portus Julius, a military port of which it constituted the inner basin. Subsequently abandoned due to the easy silting up of the access, it was incorporated into the Ripa Puteolana, the complex of docks of the commercial port of Puteoli. Along its shores stands the so-called "Temple of Apollo", actually a hall of a vast thermal complex, one of the numerous facilities that arose in the Phlegraean Fields to also exploit the natural heat springs.

National Archaeological Museum of Naples

Highlight • Historical Site

Naples National Archaeological Museum (Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Napoli, MANN) southern Italy, is at the northwest corner of the original Greek wall of the city of Neapolis. The museum contains a large collection of Roman artifacts from Pompeii, Stabiae and Herculaneum of the highest quality produced in Greek, Roman and Renaissance times. It is the most important Italian archaeological museum and is considered one of the most important in the world.
Charles III of Spain founded the museum in the 1750s. The building he used for it had been erected as a cavalry barracks and during its time as the seat of the University of Naples (from 1616 to 1777) was extended, in the late 18th century.
The core of the Greek and Roman antiquities is from the Farnese Collection, which includes a collection of engraved gems (including the Farnese Cup, a Ptolemaic bowl made of sardonyx agate and the most famous piece in the "Treasure of the Magnificent", and is founded upon gems collected by Cosimo de' Medici and Lorenzo il Magnifico in the 15th century) and the Farnese Marbles. Among the notable works found in the museum are the Herculaneum papyri, carbonized by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, found after 1752 in Villa of the Papyri.
A major collection of ancient Roman bronzes from the Villa of the Papyri is housed at the museum. These include the Seated Hermes, a sprawling Drunken Satyr, a bust of Thespis, another variously identified as Seneca or Hesiod, and a pair of exceptionally lively runners.
The museum's Mosaic Collection includes a number of important mosaics recovered from the ruins of Pompeii and the other Vesuvian cities. This includes the Alexander Mosaic, dating from circa 100 BC, originally from the House of the Faun in Pompeii. It depicts a battle between the armies of Alexander the Great and Darius III of Persia. Another mosaic found is that of the gladiatorial fighter depicted in a mosaic found from the Villa of the Figured Capitals in Pompeii. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naples_National_Archaeological_Museum
