The Archaeological Park of the Phlegraean Fields reopens the Flavian Amphitheater in Pozzuoli to the public after a fire last July 16 that had raised fears for the monument.

TheFlavian Amphitheater in Pozzuoli reopens to the public today, Thursday, August 5, 2021, after afire last July 16 that had everyone shaking in their boots. The amphitheater, dating from a period between the end of Nero’s reign and the beginning of the Flavian age, is one of the most important ancient monuments in the area, and for the Phlegraean Fields Archaeological Park, which manages it, returning it to the public as quickly as possible was “a priority objective, strongly felt and for which we have been working since the days immediately following the events of July 16.”

Due to security reasons related to the judicial investigation still underway to ascertain the origins of the fire, some areas will be confined and access to the arena is still barred, but the basement and external perimeter areas will be regularly open to visitors, with the exhibition and multimedia route created as part of the Proiezioni exhibition. In addition, the Archaeological Park of the Phlegraean Fields has decided that, to offer the public a small compensation for the forced closure (and which is nevertheless also meant to be an invitation to visit the monument again), for the entire month of August access to the amphitheater will be free for anyone who wants to visit it.

“This reopening, albeit with the limitations due to the circumstances,” the Park points out, “is an important moment, a positive signal that the Park wants to share with the territory, local institutions and all those who during this period have constantly supported and encouraged us, showing their closeness.”
