Tour of Naples Fontanelle Cemetery Catacombs & Sanità Quarter with Local Guide

Not far from the historic center of Naples is one of the most fascinating places in the city, it is the Fontanelle Cemetery.

The cemetery was built inside an ancient tuff quarry when in 1656, because of the Plague, the bones of a large part of the Neapolitan population were thrown away, which could not resist the serious epidemic. Over the years many others were added, leading to the birth of the cult of "pezzentelle souls", to whom the people turned to obtain graces and interecessions.

To accompany you there will be a guide who will tell you the legends that hover around the characters guarded in the cave.

After this mystical experience you can take a walk to the Sanità district, whose name derives from the ancient belief that the area was rich in natural and supernatural "salubritas".

You will walk through the crowded alleys of the neighborhood and staying in contact with the Neapolitan people, going to the discovery of one of the most beautiful and hidden corners of the city.
