THE SUBMERGED RUINS OF PORTUS JULIUS LIE BENEATH THE PHLEGRAEAN WATERS Located in the northwestern part of the Gulf of Naples, the harbor was intricately connected to the nearby Lake Avernus and Lake Lucrinus through a series of canals, providing a sheltered, strategic base for the Roman navy. This innovative use of natural and man-made features allowed the harbor to serve as the primary naval port for the powerful fleet of the western Mediterranean.
