Castellammare di Stabia

Italy, Italy

Castellammare di Stabia is a coastal city in Campania, southern Italy, located in the southeast corner of the Bay of Naples between Naples, Pompeii, and Sorrento.

The town sits at the northern end of the Sorrento Peninsula in a natural bowl among fertile hills rich in mineral waters. It was built over the ruins of ancient Stabiae, a Roman resort village destroyed by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79 that also buried Pompeii and Herculaneum.

The city has been a popular tourist destination since Roman times, famous for its thermal baths with mineral and sulphurous waters that are still appreciated today for therapeutic treatments. Castellammare di Stabia features notable landmarks including a medieval castle originally built around the year 1000 and rebuilt by the Angevins and Aragonese, ancient Roman villas, the Grotta di San Biagio (a quarry converted into a 6th-century Christian church with frescoes), and the royal Villa Quisisana from 1310 now operating as a hotel.
