Miseno

Miseno, an ancient Roman port town on the Gulf of Naples' northwest shore, offers a captivating blend of history and natural beauty. Founded on the Cumaean Peninsula within the Phlegraean Fields, Miseno's history stretches back to ancient times. It flourished as a significant Roman port, serving as the naval base for the Classis Misenensis, the most important Roman fleet. Emperor Tiberius even met his demise here in 37 AD.

Miseno's beauty extends beyond its historical significance. Take a hike to the top of Capo Miseno and capture breathtaking views of Capri, Ischia, Sorrento, and Mount Vesuvius. Explore the massive Roman cistern, Grotta della Dragonara, carved into the cliff next to the harbor. Imagine its purpose as you stand in awe of the Piscina Mirabilis, a hidden underground architectural wonder from Roman antiquity. Miseno boasts enchanting coastlines, golden sand, and crystal-clear waters. Relax on the beaches or take a coastal walk with splendid views extending to Procida and Ischia. While nightlife is mellow, Miseno offers tranquility and the opportunity to savor cozy cafes, local eateries, and the local Zingara pastry.
