Near the Duomo of Naples there is the archaeological complex of Vico Carminiello ai Mannesi. It brought to light by the bombings of 1943, which destroyed the Church of Santa Maria del Carmine at Mannesi and adjacent buildings, documents part of an insula (isolated) of the ancient city also occupied by a small thermal building. This is a multi-layered construction, quite articulated, dating from its main structures at the end of the first century AD, but which presents elements attributable to different phases, the oldest of which belong to the Republican age.
