The church of Santa Maria delle Grazie is the oldest parish in the diocese of Pozzuoli, built on 15 November 1624 by Bishop Lorenzo Mongiò. In ancient times it had jurisdiction over a vast territory, which included: Pozzuoli, Agnano, Bacoli, Bagnoli, Licola, Miseno and Monte di Procida. Following the creation of other parishes in these areas, the area of competence of Santa Maria delle Grazie has now been reduced to only a part of the city center.

The Macellum of Pozzuoli was the macellum or market building of the Roman colony of Puteoli, now the city of Pozzuoli in southern Italy. When first excavated in the 18th century, the discovery of a statue of Serapis led to the building being misidentified as the city's serapeum or Temple of Serapis.

Arco Felice is a hamlet of Pozzuoli with about 10,000 inhabitants, bordering the municipality of Bacoli. Its name derives from the old arch of the same name, a large door to the ancient city of Cuma, built in the first century by the emperor Domitian, although it is actually located in the adjacent hamlet of Licola, on the border with the hamlet of Cuma-Fusaro in the municipality of Bacoli.

Monte Nuovo is a cinder cone volcano within the Campi Flegrei caldera, near Naples, southern Italy. A series of damaging earthquakes and changes in land elevation preceded its only eruption, during the most recent part of the Holocene, which lasted from September 29 to October 6, 1538, when it was formed. The event is important in the history of science because it was the first eruption in modern times to be described by a large number of witnesses. The eruptive vent formed next to the medieval village of Tripergole on the shores of the then-much larger Lake Lucrino. The thermal bath village, which had been inhabited since ancient Roman times and was home to notable Roman-era buildings including Cicero's villa, was completely buried by ejecta from the new cinder cone. Tripergole's ruins and its important thermal springs completely disappeared under Monte Nuovo such that the exact location of the village can no longer be identified.
