Running beneath the Italian city of Naples and the surrounding area is an underground geothermal zone and several tunnels dug during the ages. This geothermal area is present generally from Mount Vesuvius beneath a wide area including Pompei, Herculaneum, and from the volcanic area of Campi Flegrei beneath Naples and over to Pozzuoli and the coastal Baia area. Mining and various infrastructure projects during several millennia have formed extensive caves and underground structures in the zone.
Over millennia, extreme geothermal pressure has helped form a strong, durable tuffaceous volcanic sandstone called tuff, a rock composed of compressed and compacted volcanic ash ejected during a volcanic eruption. The entire Naples area is a geothermal region with deep veins of the tuff sandstone, generically referred to as yellow tuff. It runs in deep veins beneath Naples and the area around it in strata which are found at different depths.
Tuff is strong and easily worked, making it an ideal building material. Tuff was mined through access and removal shafts called the occhio di monte, (eye of the mountain). Through these shaft, gigantic blocks of tuff were quarried and pulled up. The resulting void was a bottle shaped cavity with sloping shoulders, which provided ample reinforcement to prevent future cave-ins. After the tuff was quarried it was used as building material during roughly the Angevin, Aragonese and Bourbon periods.
The resulting caverns were later used to form water reservoirs into which water was diverted from the main aqueducts, and the Ancient Greeks dug long and elaborate aqueducts beneath the city more than 2,500 years ago. These provided fresh water to the villas and palaces above through use of the deep reservoirs and cisterns. Well shafts were also dug offering community access to the reservoirs below.
Over the centuries a massive honeycomb of caverns and passageways has been created beneath Naples and its environs. In World War II many of the quarry shafts were enlarged and spiraling stairways were added, opening up the caverns for use as air raid shelters. The resulting cavities beneath the city can now be divided up into several major categories:
Aqueducts and sewer tunnels;
Rainwater cisterns, reservoirs and aqueduct diversionary channels;
Caverns left from quarrying of tuff;
The remains of Nero's lost theatre;
Greco-Roman businesses, such as the remains of an ancient forum that was preserved in a mud slide;
Other voids from removal of sand and other types of materials;
Interconnecting tunnels and passageways among caverns;
Places of worship, including catacombs and pre-Christian hypogea (cult burial chambers);
Major ancient and modern roadway tunnels, and rail and subway tunnels.
Today, tours of the elaborate underground beneath Naples are available and there is even a museum of the underground located beneath Piazza Cavour in a huge quarry cavity with connecting tunnels and aqueduct passageways. It contains elaborate replicas of Greek hypogea and many ancient artifacts discovered during more than half a century of exploration.

NAPLES UNDERGROUND at Napoli Sotterranea | WWII Naples Roman Aquaduct
Today, we joined the Naples Underground tour called Napoli Sotterranea, which highlights the underground Naples, Italy.
The Napoli Underground city is a vast, ancient network that has been in operation for thousands of years. Underground Naples was built during the Greek period in the 7th century BC, when the Greeks came to the region to establish the city. Then the Roman Empire took it over, and converted underground Napoli into a web of Roman Aquaducts until the 16th century.
During WWII in Naples, residents of the city took refuge inside the Naples tunnels and created a functional Naples Underground City. The remnants of WWII still mark the underground tunnels in Napes.
It is a fascinating and unique Napoli walking tour, and we recommend you do it when you're here.

Naples Review - Naples Underground, Bourbon Tunnel, Museums and more! (Day 6) - vlog
Another DAAFF (Differences, Art, Architecture, Food, Fun) review.
A rainy day leads to visiting the Galleria Borbonica (Bourbon Gallery), Napoli Sotterranea (Naples Underground), Museo Archeologico (Archaeological Museum), Golfo di Napoli (Bay of Naples), Museo Napoli Novecento (20th Century Naples Museum).
While the Bourbon Tunnel (Gallery) was probably the highlight of our trip in Naples, it was the baba (rum soaked sponge cake) from Gran Gusto that I still have cravings for when thinking of Napoli. When visiting the Galleria Borbonica, be sure to listen to your tour guide and don't take photos & videos.
The eggplant parmesan, spaghetti vongole, chicken ziti are from Antica Trattoria e Pizzeria da Donato. The 1 EUR meatballs were from Street Food Neapolis by Giordano. The amazing Neapolitan Cuoppo (fried food cup) was from Passione di Sofi.

Naples underground - Napoli sotterranea
DUE GIORNI A NAPOLI; dal Vomero a Napoli sotterranea. NAPLES IN TWO DAYS from Vomero to underground.
Passeggiando per Napoli, alla ricerca delle eccellenze, del gusto e dei personaggi, visitando i vicoli più caratteristici delle città partenopea, dai Quartieri Spagnoli, dove abbiamo pranzato alla folklorosissima trattoria da Nennella, a San Gregorio Armeno, dove abbiamo conosciuto il Maestro della tradizione presepiale settecentesca Marco Ferrigno, ammirando le centralissime Piazza Plebiscito, Galleria Umberto I e goduto dei panorami del Lungomare. Siamo saliti con la Funicolare del 1928 al Vomero apprezzandone la vista, ma siamo scesi anche nella Napoli di sotto, rimanendo stupiti di come i volontari della Galleria Borbonica hanno portato alla luce questo posto magico e surreale dove si percorrono nel tempo oltre 400 anni di storia. E poi.... tante pizze; da Brandi, dove la pizza Margherita è stata inventata, e dalla Pizzeria del 1738 Port'Alba, una delle pizzerie centenarie della tradizione. Tanti caffè... Dall' Antico Caffè del Professore e dal Lussuosissimo Caffè Gambrinus. Tante sfogliatelle e tanti babà dalla centenaria pasticceria da Mary. Che dire... percorri con noi questo viaggio nell'allegria di Napoli... Jamm' Bell'....
