Cumaean Sibyl photos: history, nature and archaeology in the Phlegraean Fields

The Archaeological Park of Cuma is one of the most fascinating and historically rich places in the Phlegraean Fields, near Naples.
Here, ancient Greek and Roman remains, Mediterranean nature and breathtaking views come together to create a unique atmosphere.

Among the most famous monuments of the site is the Cumaean Sibyl’s Cave, the long passageway carved into the tufa where, according to tradition, the prophetess inspired by Apollo pronounced her oracles.

The Cumaean Sibyl photos collected in this gallery try to capture the play of light and shadow, the stone walls and the silence that still characterise this extraordinary place.

A walk between History, Nature, Archaeology and views
A visit to Cuma is not limited to the Sibyl’s Cave.
Along the paths of the acropolis you can explore the remains of temples and ancient buildings, including the Temple of Apollo, and enjoy wide views over the coastline and the volcanic landscape of the Phlegraean Fields.
