The Gulf of Pozzuoli is a cove located near the city from which it takes its name, Pozzuoli. The gulf is entirely contained within the Gulf of Naples. It winds between Cape Miseno and Cape Posillipo: the distance between the two points is about 6 kilometers. The area concerned is that of the Phlegraean Fields. Geology The main phenomenon affecting the gulf is bradyseism, which in the eighties made it necessary to move the port 50 meters forward from its original location and which is the origin of the archaeological finds from the Roman era of parts of the city now underwater. Monitoring Since 2008, a system for monitoring marine volcanoes called "CUMAS" (Cabled Underwater Module for Acquisition of Seismological data) has been present in the center of the gulf, at a depth of one hundred meters, which is connected in real-time to the monitoring room of the Vesuvius Observatory.

Lake Averno is a lake of volcanic origin located near Pozzuoli, according to myth 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 Iulius, 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 sources.
