120 feet below street level in the old historic center of Napoli there is a complex system of 4th century BC Greek tunnels, aqueducts, rooms and also the remains of a huge theater, which we visited. It was a great escape from the very hot afternoon sun. Much of the 300 mile system remains unexcavated because there are modern buildings above it.
Above is a photo of part of the tunnel system which was large and well lit. We also walked through a very narrow and low tunnel and had to use candles to see where we were going. Here is what it looked like ahead of me.
And finally, there was some pretty weird installation type art in the tunnel. It was not clear what it was there for, but I guess it was to make it more interesting.
