HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION

The archaeological structures of the Archaeological Park of Baia are arranged on terraces, the complex looks like a series of residences consisting of separate architectural nuclei, organized on different levels of terracing and put in communication via stepped ramps.

The important archaeological remains, subjected to intense excavation campaigns since 1941, revealed a stratification of buildings, villas and thermal complexes, belonging to a historical period that affects the late republican age and the Augustan, Hadrianic and severe ages.
