Naples Underground
The most fascinating itineraries for those staying in the Sorrento Peninsula, the heart of a wonderful region.
The beauty, the tranquillity, and the comfort of a small city centre dedicated for over two thousand years to tourism make Sorrento the capital of hospitality. Staying in the coastal town also allows you to reach the most interesting and famous places in the region from Amalfi to Pompeii and Naples. Offering thousands of opportunities to discover unusual and fascinating aspects of a land you may know almost everything about and incredibly still has lots to offer.
Naples is worldwide famous for its kaleidoscope of artistic events, which document its thousand-year-old history as the capital of the Mediterranean. There are many and diversified urban itineraries, but simply strolling through the city's streets allows you to travel through centuries of history and art, from the Greek polis to the Baroque-style Naples to the contemporary metropolis.
One of the most alluring routes that the Parthenopean city offers is, however, under the streets teeming with everyday life, in the silence and quietness of the underground.
From Greek mortuary hypogeums to the Roman aqueduct, from the seventeenth-century cisterns to the Bourbon military galleries, from the World War II bomb shelters to the judicial depository in use until the 1970s. A double soul of the city, exploding with sounds and colours under the sun, but that cannot forget the womb from which it was born, on which all its existence is laid upon. From the earliest excavations of prehistoric times to civil engineering works, the stages of the history of Naples are all in some way impressed in the tuff stone that surrounds and embraces the lives of its citizens.
