Naples Underground

The term Naples underground indicates the dense and complex network of tunnels and cavities, which are found in the Neapolitan subsoil and which form a real city that traces, in negative, the surface city. The underground city extends under the entire historic center of Naples Italy, myths and legends are linked to it still alive today in the collective imagination of the Neapolitans. The galleries below Naples Italy have been used, over the centuries, in different ways. Born following the extraction of tuff for the construction of the city, they were then used as an aqueduct and as a refuge during the Second World War. Following the great expansion of the city during the reign of the Angevins, a series of laws were enacted that prohibited the transport of building materials to the city. These measures were necessary to avoid the uncontrolled expansion of buildings. But the Neapolitans are not, historically, a people who love prohibitions. Using existing wells, the underlying cisterns were enlarged, thus obtaining more tuff intended for construction.

Museum of the Treasure of San Gennaro

It is a visceral and shared sentiment, which over the centuries has overcome prohibitions and restrictions, becoming increasingly stronger. Although San Gennaro is considered by the church a saint of “Serie B”, it is not for the Neapolitans. The treasure is the most immediate and important proof of this love for “Yellow Face”, the name with which the Neapolitans call the Saint due to its most famous statue in gilded silver. The Treasure of San Gennaro is located in the Museum dedicated to the Saint, inside the Cathedral of Naples Italy, and collects relics and precious objects, which have become oracles of faith. An extraordinary journey through time among incredible masterpieces donated over the years by the many devotees of the Saint who have led in 700 years to the formation of the largest treasure in the world after that of the Crown of England. Hundreds of jewels, paintings, sculptures, statues, silver furnishings and fabrics, all unique masterpieces to be admired in the museum as soon as possible but which we can also see on the website with the […]

The Royal Palace of Naples is a historic building located in Plebiscito Square, in the historic center of Naples Italy, where the main entrance is located: the entire complex, including the gardens and the San Carlo Theater, also overlooks Trieste and Trento Square, Municipio Square and Acton Street. The Palace was built in 1600 by Domenico Fontana commissioned by the viceroy Fernando Ruiz de Castro, who wanted to host King Philip III of Spain on an official visit to Naples, the capital of the vice kingdom, in a spacious and comfortable seat. An opportunity that never came about, given the fickleness of King Philip III who decided to cancel the visit.
