Capo Miseno

Naples


Historically, the cape was important to the Romans since it was a natural shelter for passage into the inner harbor of Portus Julius, the home port for the Roman western imperial fleet. Mythologically, important sections of the Aeneid play out in the Gulf of Naples: This is where Aeneas' comrade, Misenus, master of the sea-horn — the conch-shell — made "the waves ring" with his music and challenged the sea-god Triton to musical battle. He was dashed into the sea and killed by "jealous Triton". Then:

"...Pious Aeneassets up a mighty tomb above Misenusbearing his arms, a trumpet, and an oar;it stands beneath a lofty promontory,now known as Cape Misenus after him:it keeps a name that lasts through all the ages."(trans. Allen Mandelbaum. The Aeneid. Bantam. 1981)
Cala Moresca il located just outside the hamlet of Cape Miseno, the headland marking the northwestern edge of the Gulfs of Naples and Pozzuoli.

Our room smelled of body odor! The front desk said they were sold out and weren’t able to move us to another room. The rooms were musty and not clean. The walls are paper thin.
