Baia Castle, the Aragonese fortress on the Bacoli headland and home to the Museum of the Phlegraean Fields.

The castle was built at the end of the 15th century by the Aragonese to defend the Gulf of Pozzuoli and was later strengthened by the Spanish viceroys. From its bastions you enjoy one of the widest views over the Phlegraean Fields.Today it houses the Archaeological Museum of the Phlegraean Fields.
