Eastern View of the Macellum remains (Temple of Serapis) with the city of Pozzuoli

The composition documents the eastern view of the archaeological remains of the Roman Macellum of Pozzuoli, erroneously known as the Temple of Serapis. The area shows the foundations of the ancient public market, with residual colonnade elements standing in the center. The archaeological site is bordered by wooden and metal fences, with a section of green lawn in the foreground. In the background, the urban fabric of the modern city of Pozzuoli rises, featuring residential buildings with colored facades that contrast with the historical ruins. The image testifies to the overlap between Roman antiquity and contemporary settlement in the Campi Flegrei area.
