A walk around Ischia

Aenaria, the Roman city under the water

Nineteen centuries of legend confirmed by the discovery, among the Posidonia prairie of the Cartaromana bay, of the Roman city of Aenaria, swallowed by the sea in a volcanic event in the 1st century AD.

The ongoing archaeological exploration of the shallow seabed, rich in biodiversity, has brought to light the remains of a maritime villa with a nymphaeum, sections of walls and the ancient port. And the wooden structure of a quay, still under construction when the city was suddenly abandoned. An underwater itinerary full of surprises, to be fully enjoyed with a glass-screen equipped boat, snorkeling or a guided dive.
