- Ticket for the guided tour of the Hypogeum of the Crystallines

- Professional multilingual guide

Step back in time at the Hypogeum of the Crystallines, one of Naples’ most fascinating archaeological sites. Located beneath the lively Rione Sanità district, this ancient Greek necropolis offers a rare window into the city’s past.

During the 45-minute guided tour, explore burial chambers carved into the rock, admire ancient frescoes and sculptures, and learn about the rituals the Greeks used to honor their dead. The site, rediscovered in 1889, features beautifully decorated columns and sculptures still showing traces of red pigment — echoes of a civilization preserved in time.

Accompanied by a professional multilingual guide, you’ll experience an authentic and immersive journey through the underground history of Naples.
