I visited underground Naples in the Spanish quarters with my family and a nice group of other tourists. Giulia, our young but well-prepared guide, took us through the narrow underground passages, introducing us to a reality of Naples that we did not know, with anecdotes and curiosities that made the tour very interesting and lighter than expected. Perhaps also thanks to the presence of O' Munaciello??? Highly recommended!

It was a wonderful, fun and educational experience. The presentation was very engaging and the underground environment encouraged spontaneity, interest and curiosity. The group of about 12 people was very nice and laughing and joking we passed through certainly challenging tunnels and passages. Really beautiful the I graffiti on the walls of these caves where hundreds of people managed to survive the bombing of the Americans on Naples. Do not miss the story and popular belief of the Munaciello :)

Great presentation and insight into the history of Naples. Very engaging guide that keeps you involved, interested, and entertained at he same time. Definitely a must see in Naples.

As you venture below the bustling Spanish Quarters, discover narrow tunnels and expansive cisterns that connect layers of history to the streets above.

From the start of the common era

Descend into underground spaces initially excavated by the Greeks in 470 BCE to create cisterns for water collection, marking the city's earliest urban planning efforts! Remains of the Roman aqueduct provide insight on the genius engineering and architecture of the ancient world.

To twentieth century repurposing

Walk along layers of medieval and Renaissance era changes, up to its use during World War II. Thousands of Neapolis residents took shelter from overhead bombing, creating a makeshift sanctuary beneath the streets. Your knowledgeable guide will be with you every step of the way. Understand the fascinating history of the underground restoration efforts starting in the 1960s, which transformed these forgotten spaces into key historical and cultural sites.

It's recommended to wear comfortable shoes and a jacket.
