Roman Road

Perhaps not everyone knows this, because it is a little hidden, but near the Fontana dell'Esedra, on the left, there is a part of an ancient Roman road that connected Naples to Pozzuoli. The Strada Antiniana started from what is now Piazza San Domenico Maggiore and is covered with rickety stone. Upon its discovery, an ancient aqueduct emerged, the public baths (visible on Via Terracina) and a votive temple. On the sides of the street were also found monuments and common burials, together with an elegant mausoleum.

Area 28 Fountains

Area 28 Fountains is characterized by circular fountains with “tuft” jets on a turf. Positioned along the longitudinal axis, it gives shape to the main area of ​​the exhibition.
