This thesis focuses on the study of the Torre Annunziata waterfront in Italy, from the thermal baths to the new railway station of the city. Particular emphasis is given to the area where the urban port, the coastal zone and the Villa Parnasso hill coexist. The study proposes to redesign the waterfront by creating transversal links to encourage the city's orientation towards the sea, overcoming the obstacles posed by the fragmentation of the area and the boundary created by the railway station between the city and the port. Finally, in recognition of the historical and cultural importance of the area, it is proposed to create a museum that will act as a link between the urban port, the coastal zone and the landscape of the Villa Parnasso hill, taking advantage of its altitude gradient to highlight the local heritage and strengthen the city's relationship with the sea.
