Details

Spaccanapoli: Head towards the historical center of Naples and embark on a visit to the lower decumano, famously known as Spaccanapoli (Naples splitter). This renowned street earned its name as it appears to divide the city into two almost symmetrical halves when viewed from a certain perspective. Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere of this bustling area as you explore its captivating sights and landmarks.

Pietrasanta: Discover the remarkable Catholic Pietrasanta complex and delve into its underground floors, offering a valuable glimpse into the history of the city. As you descend, you'll have the opportunity to witness preserved floors and wall structures, including sections of opus reticulatum walls, tuff blocks, Roman-era mosaics, and remnants of ancient domus.

UNESCO Water Museum: Next, visit the home to the first archaeological elevator in the historic city center, showcasing the UNESCO Water Museum. This collaborative project with the Neapolitan water company has successfully restored the Greco-Roman cisterns, providing a captivating opportunity to delve into the history of the ancient Roman aqueduct that once supplied water to Neapolis. Immerse yourself in this evocative setting, where the preserved cisterns serve as a fascinating backdrop for discovering the rich past and engineering marvels of the city's water supply system.
