Dante's Inferno in the Decumanus

To guide the visitors is Dante himself who enters the tunnels dug into the bowels of the city of Partenope. A labyrinth that passes from the Greek-Roman Cistern to the Principe Pool, from the Tufo Quarry to the Air Raid Shelter, from the Moon Room to the Bombardment Room. They will meet along the way Ulysses, Paolo and Francesca, Minos, Count Ugolino and many other protagonists of the First Canticle of the Divine Comedy before “Going out to see the Stars again".

A fascinating and evocative experience where history and literature meet. Every 30 minutes, 30 people are allowed to enter who, accompanied by the Supreme Poet, enter the tunnels of the belly of Naples where you can come across the most significant characters of the first canticle of Dante's Inferno. The decumani are three ancient streets of Naples created at the end of the XNUMXth century BC during the Greek era; they constitute the ancient heart of the city. All three main streets of the ancient core are part of the historic center of the capital of Naples protected by Unesco. Noble palaces and monumental churches were built around the decumani; there are also archaeological sites: a unique historical, artistic and cultural heritage in the world.
