Monte Nuovo

Local chroniclers recorded this cone forming almost overnight during an eruption in 1538, burying a village and permanently reshaping the coastline. Now cloaked in Mediterranean scrub and pine, a path circles the crater rim, offering views over Lake Averno and the wider Campi Flegrei volcanic district.
