Cape Miseno

Cape Miseno (Italian: Capo Miseno, Latin: Misenum, Ancient Greek: Μισήνον) is the headland that marks the northwestern limit of the Gulf of Naples as well as the Bay of Pozzuoli in southern Italy. The town of Miseno is located on the north side of the cape. It is the location of the Capo Miseno Lighthouse. The cape is directly across from the island of Procida and is named for Misenus, a character in Virgil's Aeneid.
