The Basilica

Step into history with tickets to the San Lorenzo Maggiore Monumental Complex and the extraordinary Neapolis Sotterrata, where layers of time come alive beneath your feet. Start your journey in the heart of Naples at the Basilica of San Lorenzo Maggiore, a Gothic masterpiece built atop earlier Roman and Greek structures. There's much to explore aboveground in the modest Gothic interiors of this centuries-old church itself. From the Cacace Chapel with a richly sculpted altar by Massimo Stanzione, to the mosaiced tomb of Catherine of Austria.

The marketplace

Your adventure deepens as you descend into the hidden world of the Neapolis Sotterrata—a perfectly preserved ancient Roman market. Walk through the bustling streets of 1st-century Naples, where shops, warehouses, and courtyards tell the story of daily Roman life. From ancient bakeries to market stalls, this underground archaeological site reveals the city's vibrant commercial past, hidden for centuries beneath modern architecture.
