Five underwater archaeological parks to discover in Italy

By: Noemi Capoccia

The regions of CampaniaPuglia and Calabria are rich in history and beauty: these lands that were once ancient kingdoms have been submerged by the waters, ports have suffered decline, while once-vital routes have been transformed into scenery evoking a surreal atmosphere, to be discovered through underwater archaeological parks.

Therefore, it is imperative to protect and enhance Italy’s rich underwater archaeological heritage, guarded as an authentic treasure within real underwater museums. The Musas project, the network of Underwater Archaeology Museums promoted by the Ministry of Culture and financed by the European Regional Development Fund 2014-2020, was born with this objective. This initiative involves the regions of Campania, Puglia and Calabria.
