The settlement is believed to have been founded in the 8th century BC around BC by Greeks from the city of Cuma and Chalkis in Euboea upon the earlier dwellings of indigenous, Iron-Age peoples who they supplanted. Eusebius placed Cumae's Greek foundation at BC.
Cumae is perhaps most famous as the seat of the Cumaean Sibyl. Her sanctuary is now open to the public. The colony was also the entry point onto the Italian peninsula for the Cumean alphabet, a variant of which was adapted by the Romans.
Continuing, you will reach a panoramic terrace where to observe the area once occupied by the Cuman harbour and where the ruins of the Temple of Apollo lie.
According to the legend, this sanctuary with the beautiful entrances and golden roofs was built by the legendary Daedalus, that reached the area just flying from Crete with his complex wings. Do not miss the Temple of Jupiter, located in one of the highest points of the park. Continuing through the verdant vegetation and marvellous views of the sea, you will discover various ruins of the building, while at the foot of the acropolis, defended by imposing boundary walls, extends the inhabited part of the city.
The acropolis is actually a "city in the city", where sun beams seeping through the green trees contrast with the golden beaches nearby, a place where myth and magic have permeated in the ground.
The Arco Felice is drawn in the cut of Mount Grillo, in order to allow a more rapid access to the city of Cumae through the Domitiana, whose paving is still today perfectly kept and is integral part of the road corridor, and to allow the passage on the ridge of the hill.
It stays before us with its huge dimensions, almost as a triumphal entrance to the legendary city, but instead of facing a severe show what we see is one of the most beautiful scenery of the world. According to the legend, who passes through the arch and kisses their lover will be happy forever.
