It\u2019s linked to myths and legends that are still perpetuated today in the collective imagination of the Neapolitan people. Here are a couple of examples of stories that have been passed down from generation to generation.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The <em>munaciello<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The <em>munaciello <\/em>is a <strong>mischievous sprite that\u2019s said to live in underground Naples<\/strong> and enter the homes of Neapolitans to play tricks or leave gifts.<\/p>\n<p>He knows the network of tunnels lying beneath the surface of Naples inside out, allowing him to move around the entire city. It\u2019s said that he\u2019s particularly susceptible to feminine charms&#8230; But be warned: not everyone can see him. According to certain legends, the <em>munaciello <\/em>is the ghost of the son of Caterina Frezza, a Neapolitan noblewoman forced by her father to become a nun. He supposedly lived in the convent with her, dressed as a monk, and would sneak outside the walls to go on little raids, until he died in mysterious circumstances. <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The <em>pozzaro<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Many people are convinced that they keep seeing the ghost of the <em>munaciello<\/em> flitting in and out of people\u2019s houses. But it could in fact be the <em>pozzaro<\/em>, <strong>the man who was responsible for supplying water to wells<\/strong>. When he didn\u2019t get paid for his services, he sought revenge by playing tricks on the residents of the houses. He had a natural talent for speleology and wore a sort of robe to protect himself from the humidity. It\u2019s easy to see why he could enter people\u2019s houses and be mistaken for a ghost! <\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The origins of underground Naples<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Underground Naples exists because of the particular morphological and geological characteristics of the Neapolitan area, whose light, crumbly tuff rock was used to build almost all the houses in the city&#8217;s historic centre.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s thought that <strong>the first excavations date back around 5,000 years<\/strong>, almost to the end of the prehistoric era.<\/p>\n<p>It was the Greeks, in the 3rd century BC, who opened the first underground quarries to extract blocks of tuff. The rock was used to build a city \u2013 Neapolis (New City) \u2013 and the underground tombs that can still be seen today at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.catacombedinapoli.it\/en\/places\/catacombs-of-san-gaudioso-naples\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Catacombs of San Gaudioso<\/a> and San Gennaro in the Rione Sanit\u00e0 neighbourhood.<\/p>\n<p>Later, in the Augustan Age, the Romans built the first underground tunnels and cisterns, creating a whole series of aqueducts fed by water from the Serino springs, 70km from the centre of Naples.<\/p>\n<p>These cisterns remained active until the cholera epidemic of 1885, when they were abandoned in favour of the new aqueduct that\u2019s still in operation today.<\/p>\n<p>Underground Naples came back into its own during the Second World War, when the tunnels and cisterns were used as safe havens and air-raid shelters by the local people. Throughout Naples, 369 cave shelters and 247 bunkers were put to use, traces of which still remain visible today in the form of old toys, engravings on the walls, unexploded bombs and armoured vehicles.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image00003-min.jpg?resize=640%2C480&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"resti guerra Napoli sotterranea\" class=\"wp-image-11996\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image00003-min.jpg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image00003-min.jpg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image00003-min.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image00003-min.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>In short, visiting underground Naples is like taking a journey back in time through 2400 years of Neapolitan history, from the Greek era to the modern age.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The route<\/h2>\n<p>Comfortable <strong>non-slip shoes (preferably trainers) and a sweatshirt (even in summer)<\/strong> are recommended for the tour because of the high humidity underground.<\/p>\n<p>Below the volcanic rock known as tuff, in Piazzetta San Gaetano, you descend a charming flight of steps into the city\u2019s underground world.<\/p>\n<p>Here is where it starts to get really exciting.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lighting system installed along the route but there are some tunnels that are very narrow and dark where candles were used in the past.

Despite the fact that this tour is completely out of the ordinary, it\u2019s in fact <strong>suitable for children, adults and seniors<\/strong>. It\u2019s important to know that this is a safe tour that complies with all the regulations in force, and is completely feasible even for people who aren\u2019t particularly agile. The steps are low, there are handrails alongside the stairs and in general the spaces are wide. The narrowest tunnel is optional, so if you don\u2019t feel comfortable doing it you can wait outside for around 10 minutes. Wear comfortable shoes, relax and enjoy the adventure!<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Entrances<\/h3>\n<p>There are several entrances to underground Naples, although they aren\u2019t connected to one another so you\u2019ll see a different section of the tour depending on which starting point you choose.<\/p>\n<p>The main official entrance is right in the historic centre at <strong>68 Piazza San Gaetano<\/strong>, near Via Tribunali, on the corner of the famous \u201cshepherd\u2019s street\u201d Via San Gregorio Armeno.<\/p>\n<p>As well as the main entrance in Via Tribunali, there\u2019s another entrance to underground Naples on Via Chiaia behind Caff\u00e8 Gambrinus. There\u2019s also one on Riviera di Chiaia: from the Morelli car park, you can enter the 431-metre Bourbon Tunnel, which passes underneath Pizzofalcone hill, linking the Largo della Reggia (now Piazza Plebiscito) and Piazza della Vittoria.<\/p>\n<p>At the start of Spaccanapoli, on the corner of Via Tribunali, you\u2019ll find an entrance to Underground Naples.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1075175966.jpg?resize=640%2C428&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27993\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1075175966.jpg?w=1000&amp;ssl=1 1000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1075175966.jpg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/volare.volotea.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/shutterstock_1075175966.jpg?resize=768%2C513&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Opening hours and prices<\/h3>\n<p>Entry, including a guided tour, costs \u20ac15.00 for adults and \u20ac8.00 for children under 10.
