Quarto stands "at the fourth mile" of the consular Via Campana, its territory a volcanic basin of the Phlegraean Fields: the plain, fertile with vines and orchards, was the farming hinterland of Roman Puteoli, and the necropolises along the ancient road preserve its passage. Falanghina dei Campi Flegrei has one of its historic zones here.
Grown fast as a residential town of the Phlegraean belt, Quarto keeps its feet in the countryside and its gaze on Pozzuoli: the Solfatara, the Rione Terra and the Phlegraean wonders are ten minutes away. A simple base for an archaeological area that never ends.
