Summary
Underwater archaeological routes proposed for the Protected Marine Area of Santa Maria di Castellabate aim to integrate natural and historical heritage, revealing a rich underwater landscape with Roman-era shipwrecks and WWII relics amid seagrass meadows. The project seeks to promote sustainable tourism by showcasing coastal quarries, a Roman harbor, and remnants of maritime villas with ancient aquaculture systems. This approach offers a novel way to preserve and present archaeological heritage while enhancing public engagement with both terrestrial and submerged cultural landmarks.
