You ll start your tour at the monumental Neptune s Fountain and in a short space of time you will be at Castel Nuovo or the Maschio Angioino, one of the most important symbols of Naples, dominating the Municipio Square. The city was indeed one of Europe s most influential capitals from the Middle Ages until the unification of Italy in Your walk continues by the San Carlo Theatre, the oldest continuously used opera house in Europe, and the iconic Umberto I shopping-gallery, an Art Deco masterpiece of iron and glass, which displays unparalleled creativity and elegance. We then take a look at the monumental Piazza del Plebiscito, with its fascinatingly domed church, before having a break to enjoy the best sfogliatella, a local pastry with delicious orange flavored ricotta cream, in town. The perfect pairing involves a cup of local coffee, and Naples is renowned for the best coffee in Italy, so you are in safe hands here!

4 CRYPTS AND CATACOMBS OF NAPLES (2 h 30 m) Join us for the unique opportunity to explore two incredibly wellpreserved catacombs in Naples that are still relatively off the beaten track: San Gaudioso and San Gennaro. Probably occupied by the Greeks for the first time, this space was used as a burial ground for Naples by the first Christian communities nearly 2000 years ago. The chambers are more spacious than their counterparts in Rome and house hundreds of tombs, from modest singles to extravagant family tombs. While walking through the humming streets of the Rione Sanità, it s hard to imagine how one of the most densely populated areas in Naples was once so removed from the city center to be a place of burial. Sanità means health, and the area was considered pristine because of the presence of the saints, whose bodies were buried in the catacombs, such as the famous San Gennaro, the beloved patron of the city. You ll hear stories of devotion, superstition, and even theft, as the relics of the saints were so precious that even thieves were attracted to these subterranean cities. Admire the first Christian representations with their mysterious symbols and the early Byzantine mosaics. We see the bizarre tombs of nobles, where skulls where placed on display in the walls and the rest of the body was painted in frescoes, with clothes and details about their status and life. With a local, Englishspeaking guide on hand, you ll explore these extensive tunnels lined with tombs carved right out of the rock, and hear their fascinating history. By joining this tour, you not only support the continuous restoration of the sites, but you offer a valuable support also to the local community, that is directly involved in the ambitious project to preserve the history of these unique places.
