Via dei Tribunali, known as the Decumano Maggiore, is an 800-meter-long historic thoroughfare in the heart of Naples' historic center (a UNESCO World Heritage Site). It connects Port'Alba to Castel Capuano, passing through iconic sites such as Piazza San Gaetano (near the Naples Underground), San Gregorio Armeno, and home to ancient churches, famous pizzerias, and the ancient Greek Agora.

In the off-season (end of October) I was even able to get a guided tour at 2pm without booking in advance.

Long, steep stairs lead down

Underground Naples is a parallel city born together with the current city and extends under the entire historic center at a depth of over 40 metres. The Official and Authorized route of Napoli Sotterranea starts from Piazza San Gaetano 68, on Via dei Tribunali next to the Basilica of San Paolo Maggiore.

As part of the ARD series “Classics of World Literature” by and with Tilman Spengler, a short film (in German) presents the life and, as an outstanding work, the “Divina Commedia” by => DANTE ALIGHIERI (1265 to 1321) – the great poet in the Italian language and creator of the above-mentioned “Divine Comedy”. The Florentine native died and was buried in Ravenna. Let us hope that he has actually reached heaven – like his literary alter ego – and that he has found his dearly beloved Beatrice there. Anyone who would like to find out more in the ARD media library (the German-language film only lasts a quarter of an hour) just needs to follow the link: https://www.ardmediathek.de/video/klassiker-der-weltliteratur/dante-alighieri/ard-alpha/Y3JpZDovL2JyLmRlL3ZpZGVvL2E0YmE3OWQzLTk2NjAtNGUyYS04OTBlLTY2N2E5YmJjNGZlNw

Piazza Dante is one of Naples' most important squares and is located in the historic city center. Dante Square It forms the beginning of the Via Toledo and flows along the Decumano Maggiore via the entrance to Port'Alba on the north side of the square.

Santa Chiara (Italian Basilica di Santa Chiara, also Monastero di Santa Chiara) is a former Poor Clare convent in Naples and includes the church of Santa Chiara, an adjacent monastery and an archaeological museum. The church is the burial place of Neapolitan kings from the two Capetian dynasties, House of Anjou and House of Bourbon-Sicily. The church has neither a transept nor a choir; a wall with windows closes off the room. Four members of the Anjou are buried in tombs on the altar wall. Among them is the original four-story tomb monument of Robert of Anjou, which was the largest royal tomb in Naples and was created between 1343 and 1345 by the Florentine sculptors Bertini. Most of the funerary monuments were created by Tino di Camaino.

Entrance to the oldest and only officially recognized tour of the 'Underground City'. Massimiliano, one of the guides, gave us 1h30 with exciting facts about the Greek Neapolis that lives on in today's cityscape. The highlight of the tour were plants growing underground 🪴, the short experience as Pozzaro🕳️👀🦸 (people who had access to the underground wells below the city and are now captured in the Murales of the Quartieri Spagnoli) and above all the discovery of the Greco-Roman Theater 🏛️🎭 as part of today's living units 😲, which can be reached via a gap under a bed (!!!). The tour ends with a small exhibition on the presepi Napolitani and their importance outside the Christian tradition. In order to avoid the queue (which can sometimes last up to 3 hours), it is advisable to purchase the tickets 🎟️🎟️ on the website in advance.
