POZZUOLI (anc. Puteoli, q.v.)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 240 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: POL-PRE
POZZUOLI (anc. Puteoli, q.v.) , a seaport and episcopal see of Campania,
Italy
 , in the province of Naples, 7-1 m. W. of it by
rail
 . Pop. (1906), 17,017 (town); 22,838 (commune). It is situated on and at the base of a hill projecting into the bay at Pozzuoli, separated from the
main
  portion of the Gulf of Naples by the promontory of Posilipo. Its
mineral
  baths are frequented in summer; and the volcanic pozzolana earth (also found near Rome), used now as in Roman times for making cement and concrete, derives its name from the
place
 . In the middle ages Pozzuoli was frequently sacked and also damaged by the natural
convulsions
  of 1198 and 1538. To the north-
east
  of the town is the Solfatura, a half
extinct
 
volcano
  crater, in which sulphurous gases are exhaled.
