Lapis Museum: The Underground Water Museum Guided Tour

Embark on a guided exploration of the Museo dell'Acqua, where the depths of history await your discovery. We will journey below ground to unveil a Greek-Roman aqueduct and an anti-aircraft shelter from World War II!

Guided Exploration of Museo dell'Acqua

The adventure begins at the designated time in central Piazza Dante, followed by a brief walk to the Museo dell'Acqua. Prepare to uncover the hidden wonders beneath Naples.

As we descend a remarkable 35 meters underground (equivalent to 114 feet), numerous tunnels and galleries will come into view. This extraordinary path reveals the remnants of an ancient Greco-Roman aqueduct that harks back to the era when the city bore the name Neapolis.

While continuing through the Museo dell'Acqua, the remnants of an ancient cistern will be highlighted, alongside explorations of the largest subterranean area in Naples, widely known as the Prince's Pool. Ever wondered about its intriguing name? The answer is just around the corner!

The journey through the underground extends about 1 kilometer (0.8 miles), where we will also encounter the section that served as an air raid shelter during the harrowing World War II bombings.

After an engaging 1 hour and 15 minutes, we will ascend back to the surface, concluding our insightful exploration.
