Cuma Archaeological Park<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Cuma is not just an archaeological site: it is the first Greek colony in the West<\/strong> (8th century BC),
\nconsidered the birthplace of Western civilization.
\nIn this evocative place, myth and history intertwine: from the<strong’acropolis< strong=””> overlooking the sea,
\nto the Lower City, guardian of over three thousand years of history<\/strong>.

The Park, founded in 1927 by Amedeo Maiuri, covers about 50 hectares and preserves some of the most famous monuments of the Phlegraean Fields,
\nsuch as the Sibyl’s Cave, the sacred terraces, and the mighty city walls.<\/p>\n

The Acropolis of Cuma: Panoramas, Temples, and the Mystery of the Sibyl<\/h2>\n

The tuff spur of the Acropolis<\/strong> offers breathtaking views and contains the site’s most iconic monuments.<\/p>\n

The Sibyl’s Cave<\/h3>\n

The park’s symbolic monument, a trapezoidal gallery carved into the tuff (4th-3rd century BC) and made famous by Virgil,
\nwho identified it as the place where the Cumaean Sibyl<\/strong> delivered her prophecies.
\nThe atmosphere, the play of light, and the mythical aura make it a unique experience.<\/p>\n
