Naples Underground "A Hidden Treasure"

Hidden away beneath Naples' bustling Old Town is a world of wonder. Constructed over a period of 2,400 years, a series of tunnels, caves, and caverns exist underneath the city streets. Several of these were originally created by the Greeks who quarried tuft for construction, transforming the resulting hollow spaces into reservoirs and water cisterns. During WWII, by Lalupa some of these were repurposed for use as air-raid shelters. Across the ages, each civilization built upon the existing network of tunnels, finding new ways to interweave their lives above ground with the world beneath. Far from being forlorn and featureless, this subterranean labyrinth is riddled with the remains of Nero's lost theater, aqueducts, places of worship, catacombs, and many more veiled pieces of Naples' long and eventful history.

First settled by the ancient Greeks who went on to found the city of Partenope, the tiny island of Megaride is home to the city's oldest castle. Many believe that the name, Castel dell'Ovo, is due to its unusual shape (as Ovo means Egg); however, others still think that the name is linked to medieval legends. Apparently the poet hid an egg in an iron cage by Kllwiki and left it to hang from a rafter in a secret place within the castle. It is said that if the egg is broken, both the castle and the city are doomed to destruction.

Zonas Arqueológicas de Pompeya "Glimpses of the Past"

Buried under layers of ash and rock for over 1500 years, the archaeological remains of , and the Villa at Torre Annunziata serve as windows into the past. The Roman town of Pompeii was buried alongside the summer retreat of Herculaneum and numerous lavish villas when Vesuvius erupted on the 24th of August, 79 by Wknight94 CE. Excavations began full-swing in the mid-18th Century, although the site was discovered several years before in the 16th Century. Frozen in time, these well-preserved vestiges of a once prosperous civilization are a vivid reflection of the day to day lives of its people. While the remnants of Pompeii and Herculaneum present a more generalized picture of the Roman society, the Villa Oplontis depicts the opulent lifestyle enjoyed by the rich. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site along with Herculaneum and Torre Annunziata, the baths, temples, burial sites, theaters and homes of Pompeii offer an invaluable insight into the history of the Roman Civilization. +39 857 5347 pompeiisites.org/ [email protected] Via Villa dei Misteri, Pompeii t
