Parco Virgiliano and Sybil's Cave

The little guys and I took a couple of day trips recently. One trip was to Parco Virgiliano in Pozzuoli and the other to Sibyl's Cave in Cuma. Parco Virgiliano was a beautiful park with an awesome view of the sea. It also had a small area where kids could skate or ride bikes and a small playground.

The ever present Mt. Vesuvius

The ageless Cumaean Sibyl was the priestess presiding over a Greek colony located near Naples, Italy. The cave is a trapezoidal passage over 131 m long, running parallel to the side of the hill and cut out of the volcanic tuff stone and leads to an innermost chamber, where the Sibyl was thought to have prophesied. 

Going up the stairs over the top of the passageway takes you to an overlook with a great view of Lake Averno and the sea.

Ciao! Until the next day trip................
