What to see, according to Wikivoyage
There are several ancient Roman ruins in Pozzuoli, including the macellum (market building), an amphitheatre and a bath.
Flavian Amphitheater. The Flavian Amphitheatre in Pozzuoli is one of Italy’s largest Roman arenas, built in the 1st century CE to serve the busy port city of Puteoli. Its underground chambers, cages, and passageways are among the best preserved of any Roman amphitheatre. Macellum of Pozzuoli. The Macellum of Pozzuoli is a major Roman market building (often misidentified as a temple due to its standing columns), reflecting the wealth of the ancient port city of Puteoli. Its remains show the commercial heart of Roman trade and even preserve evidence of ancient marine uplift. Solfatara. Solfatara is a dormant volcanic crater in the Phlegraean Fields, famous since antiquity for its steaming fumaroles, boiling mud pools, and strong sulphurous gases. Known to the Romans as a gateway to the underworld, it offers a vivid glimpse of the active volcanic forces shaping the region. Rione Terra. Rione Terra is the historic heart of Pozzuoli, perched on a rocky promontory above the Bay of Naples.
