The upside-down fig tree at the ancient ruins of Baiae, near the modern Italian city of Bacoli, is extremely famous. Its strange posture surprised many people and until now no one knows exactly why the fig tree grew in that position, or how long it has been growing.
No one can explain
This fig tree grows on the roof of an ancient Roman arch and literally grows upside down, pointing its tip towards the ground. This fig tree seems to hang from the dome. Defying all the laws of physics and botanists, the tree still grows stronger every year and sometimes even bears fruit.
The fig tree (Ficus carica) is one of the first tree species brought into cultivation by humans. This plant has a strong root system and can withstand harsh conditions.
This upside-down fig tree is clear proof of that, it still grows well even without watering. In addition, it is also proof that nature always contains miracles beyond human imagination.
Once a resort favored by Rome’s ruling class, Baiae is now also an archaeological park that attracts tourists from around the world. In recent years, the strange and mysterious upside-down fig tree, a testament to the magic of nature, has attracted many visitors to this location.
