The Crater of Agnano, located in the volcanic region of Campi Flegrei to the northwest of Naples, is an impressive natural amphitheater formed by an ancient volcanic eruption. Once home to a large lake, which was drained in the 19th century, it is now an area characterized by lush vegetation and geothermal activity, including natural hot springs. The crater and its surroundings boast a rich history, having been inhabited since ancient times, with traces such as Roman baths and other archaeological remains. The surrounding area includes densely populated suburbs like Astroni, Pianura, Pisani, Cigliano, and Cofanara. Today, the crater offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historical significance, providing a fascinating insight into the dynamic geological and cultural past of the region.
