[Naples] Napoli Sotterranea 🏰🕋️

✨I came across a blogger's post about joining an underground city tour in Naples, and it looked quite fascinating. There are English-guided tours at 10:00, 12:00, and 14:00, each lasting an hour and a half. These tours are officially organized by the municipal government, and the experience seems quite immersive. ✨Tickets can be purchased onsite for 15 euros per person, and it's worth experiencing if you have the time. In addition to navigating through the underground city, there's also a Roman-era opera house hidden among residential buildings, offering a unique surprise. This city seems to be filled with secrets. ✨【History and Background】 In the 4th century BC, the Greeks constructed underground cisterns for water supply and excavated quarries to find materials needed to build the city, temples, and walls of Neapolis. They also dug rooms at a depth of 10-12 meters beneath the city to be used as tombs. ✨During the Augustan period, the Romans began the development of the immortal underground tunnels, building a network of road tunnels and the grand Augusta Campania aqueduct, with water sourced from the Serino spring. In the 16th century, Neapolitan noble Cesare Carmignano decided to build a new aqueduct to fully meet the water needs of the residents. ✨During World War II, the underground cavities were illuminated and served as air-raid shelters. Thus, at the sound of alarms, thousands of people would rush down the stairs and hide in the deep streets. #Italy #Naples #NaplesAttractions #HistoricalArchitecture
