TOUR DESCRIPTION

The Buried Neapolis

San Lorenzo Maggiore contains an adventure directly into the ancient part, offering a chance to see history in a manner unique to itself. The buried Neapolis is steeped in history, unfolding into timeworn structures and passages for you to explore. Entrance into his massive archeological complex is provided in the tour, and allows a literal descent into Naples’ historical record.

With buildings layered atop one another, you will be able to witness Naples’ evolution – on a civil, political, cultural, and institutional level. Each one blends into a continuous experience, shifting from the ancient to the modern. Here, you can watch the flow of time weave along and past itself, needing only your eye to translate these ruins into an extraordinary timeline.

These tunnels date back to the 4th century BCE, but the more you explore, the less you will find yourself stuck in the past. For with a guide at your side to see you through this extraordinary tour, you will witness the city’s growth into the modern day.

Once you’ve finished walking through the Neapolis, you can explore Spaccanapoli. This incredible street offers a mile-long view down its colossal length, and here, you’ll find a collection of historical sights and structures key to Naples’ history. The views it offers are absolutely iconic, but you need not lose yourself in the vastness – for around every corner, special sites await to offer you a history of their own. The city’s heart laid bare, you will become familiar with so much of what Naples has to offer: its past, its present, and its future.

Whether you’re experiencing Naples’ past or present, you will find everything perfectly preserved, with great care taken to maintain the detail and handiwork of each major structure.  Thanks to these efforts, and with knowledge from your guide, you will learn a full history over the course of this 3-hour expedition.
