Historical Naples Tour: Origin, Cults & Legends
Welcome to one of the most ancient cities of the World! With your Local Guide, you’ll walk through the old town of Naples:
- Starting from Piazza Bellini (the HEART of Naples) with a Greek archaeological site under your nose, we walk through ancient streets of the "Decumani" (Roman grid road system) and SPACCANAPOLI enjoying Monuments and Art.
We'll stop to Gothic and Baroque churches as S. Lorenzo, S. Domenico. We explore the unique nativity scenes and ARTISANS quarter of S. Grergorio Armeno with the cloister; we'll admire the exclusive BANKSY mural (and TONS of street art on the way!).
A MUST for our tour is a caffè in the MARADONA's bar (with his HOLY hair!) talking about the Neapolitan Life!
Let yourself be carried through our LOCAL culture and discover the CULT of Dead (Underground church of Purgatory).
Our special walk ends at the Cathedral to understand the Miracle of our patron Saint: Gennaro.
