Hidden away beneath Naples' bustling Old Town is a world of wonder. Constructed over a period of 2,400 years, a series of tunnels, caves, and caverns exist underneath the city streets. Several of these were originally created by the Greeks who quarried tuft for construction, transforming the resulting hollow spaces into reservoirs and water cisterns. During WWII, some of these were repurposed for use as air-raid shelters. Across the ages, each civilization built upon the existing network of tunnels, finding new ways to interweave their lives above ground with the world beneath. Far from being forlorn and featureless, this subterranean labyrinth is riddled with the remains of Nero's lost theater, aqueducts, places of worship, catacombs, and many more veiled pieces of Naples' long and eventful history.
