A Dive to the Museum
Have you ever been to a museum that requires scuba gear?
We have Mount Vesuvius to thank for many things, including the Phlegraean Fields - the real-life inspiration for Dante’s Inferno. But if you’re looking for adventure off the beaten path and an outdoor piece of history that is a little bit more pleasant than the gateway to the underworld, I recommend the Underwater Archeological Park of Baiae.
The ancient Roman ruins of Southern Italy were submerged in the mid-1500s following a series of bradyseism events triggered by the never-quite-dormant volcano. Whether it is more tragic that they fell into the sea, or more interesting that we can visit them today accompanied by schools of fish, is left to the judgment of the visitor.
