Enchanting scenery that unfolds to the eyes of visitors, a secret place full of history and magic atmosphere.An emotional journey that conducts visitors in the new section of the underground of Naples. It is situated in Vico del Grottone 4, from to 150 mt. to Plebiscito Square. Until a few years ago it wasa veterinary laboratory, now is the entrance of the Bourbon Tunnel. A staircase with 8 ramps, 33 yards deep descending into the belly of Chiaia. The second entry is in Via Domenico Morelli,40, through the crosswalk of “Quick parking”.The Tunnel was built in 1853 by Ferdinand II of Bourbon, who, concerned about the outbreak of rebellion, he asked for an escape from the Royal Palace to the barrack in Via della Pace, now Via Morelli. The work was uncompleted and, during the second World War, was used by residents of the area as a military hospital, later becoming the Hall Judicial Deposit.The war left its mark even in the subsoil. That’s way there are handwrite, folding beds, messages of wish and desolation of those who lived it and still maintains its memory. Along the tunnel thereare also the evidences, 530 meters, where visitors can discover the history of real life. Through the spacious streets, it’s easy reachable the network of tunnels and cisterns of seventeenth-century,large buildings, where worked the "pozzari", the only connoisseur of Naples underground.The show is stunning, but that's not finished. On Via Morelli appear statues dating back to fascist period and many cars and motorcycles, abandoned for years, freed from piles of rubbish, arranged and illuminated ad hoc for the route.Nothing is left to chance, even lighting, perfectly integrated with the path of the visitors.Since today everything is possible to visit. Five years ago the scenery was completely different.Rubbish, degradation, wastes of all kinds covered the reliquaries.
Excellent tour, an amazing place to visit and a snapshot of life in Naples during WWII Lots of thanks to Lorena for the excellent explanation

There are many ways to visit Naples. One is by crossing its space, walking on the Megellina boardwalk, wandering onto the decumani or going in and out the churches and the shops of the old city center. Another way is to cross the city across time, to learn, by images, its history and its fortunes.

Went here to see Caravaggio’s Martyrdom of Saint Ursula and Artemisia Gentileschi’s Samson and Delilah. Easy in and out, observing Covid protocols. One of only three Caravaggio’s in Naples.

Naples Underground - The tour in the ancient neapolitan aqueduct. A city below the city.
We took the Italian tour with Gianluca this morning. Aside from being an absolutely amazing tour of underground Napoli, Gianluca provided so many interesting anecdotes behind the historical aspect of the tunnels. LAES is made up entirely of dedicated volunteers who are working to preserve an important historical part of Napoli. The volenteers are slowly clearing out all the debris that filled the cisterns after world war 2 an incredibly tedious job. Chapeau to all of the volunteers, without you and your dedication the world would be a less interesting place. Highly recommend this tour as all proceeds go to continuing the work started 35 years ago.
