Description:
Unravel Naples's history, both above and below ground, with ancient heritage dating back to the Greek era. Take the opportunity to study different facets of its development right up to the present with a knowledgeable scholar who specializes in art history and archaeology.
Follow your scholar through the bustling streets of Naples—which still follow the decumani (ancient Roman roads)—and listen carefully as the origins and epochs of this metropolis are explained. Get insight into the enigmatic past of the city and how it was built on top of previous structures.
The decumanus maximus, excavations under the Gothic church San Lorenzo Maggiore, are considered one of the key sights to appreciate the remains of the city corresponding to the ancient Greek Agora.
From here your group descends into a series of ancient streets, tunnels, and cisterns—dating back to the first and third centuries BC—where you admire structures from the common bakery and laundry to the aerarium (where the city's riches were held).
