About This Site
Located in Baia, the Portus Julius was commissioned in 37 BC by Marco Vipsanio Agrippa during the civil war between Octavian and Sextus Pompey. The grandiose port structure, used as an arsenal of the Miseno fleet was connected by a navigable canal to the lakes of Lucrino and D'averno. Today it is possible to see the remains of the port structure and some mosaics at a depth ranging from 3m to 5m.
