In the Phlegraean Fields, just inland from the port of Pozzuoli, stands the 1st-century Macellum of Pozzuoli, also known as the Temple of Serapis. This ancient Roman market, now sunken below sea level, features columns that emerge from a brackish pool of water. Visitors can explore the ruins and marvel at the way the site has been preserved, offering a tangible connection to the past. The unique setting and historical significance make it a fascinating destination for those interested in archaeology.
