Terme Vulcania

Terme Vulcania is a thermal spa establishment in the Campi Flegrei zone of Campania, the extraordinary volcanic region west of Naples where the Phlegrean Fields — a massive active caldera system — produce abundant geothermal springs and fumaroles across the landscape. The sulfurous thermal waters exploited by the complex draw directly on the volcanic activity of one of Europe's most geologically dynamic zones, known for the phenomenon of bradyseism — the slow rise and fall of the land surface driven by volcanic pressure — that has shaped the coastal landscape around the ancient Roman port of Pozzuoli for millennia. The characteristic sulfurous waters have been sought out by bathers in the long tradition of Campanian thermal culture, and Terme Vulcania carries this heritage forward within a modern spa setting. It offers a viscerally volcanic thermal experience in a landscape where the forces of the earth are never far from the surface and the hot spring tradition stretches back unbroken to the great Roman thermae of the imperial period.
