The unique qualities are in its land forma- tion, its topography, and in its history. These unique factors include: 1. Geological Centers of Activity and Fault Lines Pozzuoli is in the middle of a caldera which is an area of land that col- lapses after a volcanic eruption due to the release of magma from a magma chamber in the earth. The caldera surrounding Pozzuoli is called the Campi Flegrei, or the Phlegraean Fields. This caldera continues to be active because of magma remaining in the magma pocket and causes the land to move vertically and laterally. 2. Historically Modified Coastline The coastline has moved substantially since Roman times. During Roman times, the coastline was located about 230 meters further out in Pozzuoli Bay. In the 1700’s, the water moved substantially inland - entirely covering the current waterfront. 3. Historic Artifacts and Ruins The waterfront is anchored by two of the most interesting Roman ruins in Pozzuoli. In the east, Rione Terra, or the old city, is being excavated. In the west, Portus Julius, or the old port, lies just beneath the water’s sur- face. Other Roman ruins lie just along the waterfront like the Villa Livia, Pozzuoli, Italy Masterplan w/ Eisenman Architects Pozzuoli, Italy Masterplan w/ Eisenman the old stadium, and the Macellum..
