Naples underground. chamber-pots used during WWII when the caves were used as air-raid shelters.


Forty meters below the characteristic and lively streets of the Historic Center of Naples, you find a different world, unexplored, isolated by time, but deeply connected with the world above. It’s the heart of Naples, and the place from which the city was born. A world 2400 years old. Every historic epic, from the Greek foundation of Neapolis, to the Roman and Bourbon aqueduct to the bombs of WWII, has left it’s mark on the walls of the yellow tufa stone, the soul of Naples, and the stone with which the city was built.
