Poggiomarino
Archaeological Site Small town and comune in Campania region
East of Naples in Campania, Poggiomarino lies near Pompeii and Vesuvius; visitors use it as a quieter base for archaeological visits, regional pizzerias and countryside walks.
Poggiomarino is a town and comune in the Campania region of southern Italy, in the Metropolitan City of Naples. It lies on the low-lying plain north of the Sarno River.
The town is a local residential and commercial centre rather than a major tourist destination, with streets, local churches and small public squares typical of Campanian towns. Nearby agricultural land and small industrial areas form much of the surrounding landscape.
Poggiomarino developed over centuries as a rural and then suburban settlement within the historic region around Naples and the Sarno valley. Administrative and building patterns reflect regional growth in the 19th and 20th centuries.
Located in the province around Naples in Campania, Poggiomarino sits on the Sarno plain and is part of the greater Naples metropolitan area; the town is inland from the Bay of Naples and in proximity to other small municipalities in the region.
