Naples by Foot

I walked many miles today, but saw some great things. I started by going to the Montesanto station, which is a complex nexus of transportation in Naples, intersecting a train station, a funicular station, and a metro station. I went for the train; the ‘Cumana’ line, which takes you out to Pozzuoli and other stations further west. At Pozzuoli there is a Roman amphitheater, one of the largest, and much better preserved than the one at Capua. Later in the day I visited the imperial bath complex at Baia, which was fantastic even in a light rain (I made a short video of part of the site, which you can see here). At the end I managed to fit in a quick visit to Cuma, an ancient site where, from the acropolis, you can see the island of Capri to the south. This picture was taken at the amphitheater at Pozzuoli, a Roman statue long ago snapped off at the ankles, leaving a disembodied foot for posterity.
