Vesuvius National Park

Vesuvius National Park is an Italian national park established on June 5, 1995, centered on the active volcano Mount Vesuvius and the ancient crater of Monte Somma in the Campania region southeast of Naples. The park encompasses approximately 72.6 square kilometers across thirteen municipalities within the Province of Naples, making it one of Europe's few protected areas centered on an active continental volcano. The Somma-Vesuvius volcanic complex has a geological history spanning over 400,000 years, with the current volcanic structure featuring a massive outer cone (Monte Somma) that contains the younger, still-active Gran Cono of Vesuvius within its caldera. This unique volcanic landscape, combined with Mediterranean maquis and forest vegetation, supports remarkable biodiversity given the park's relatively small area, with 612 plant species and 227 animal species recorded within its boundaries.
