Qualiano

Province: Naples · Region: Campania · Population: 24,744 · Postal code: 80019

Qualiano is the countryside gate of the Phlegraean Fields: the farmland around it fed Naples for generations, and greenhouses and fields persist among the quarters grown after the war. The centre, around the parish church of Santo Stefano, keeps the pace of the village it was.

Position is its concrete argument: Pozzuoli and the Solfatara on one side, the beaches of Licola and Varcaturo on the other, Naples half an hour away. A workaday, economical base for exploring the Phlegraean area without frills.
