Uncover the hidden gems of Naples on a captivating guided tour of the mysterious Bourbon Tunnel, where history and ambiance converge. Elevate your journey by opting for the Via delle Memorie tour, which lets you explore the historic underground route on foot. In 1853, King Ferdinand II of Bourbon commissioned the tunnel's construction as a secret escape route from the Royal Palace to the barracks on Via della Pace, now Via Morelli. Although the project was never completed, the tunnel played a significant role during World War II, serving as a military hospital and later a storage facility for judicial archives. The war's impact is still palpable, with poignant handwritten messages from those who sought refuge in the tunnels. As you delve into the tunnels, you'll discover a fascinating collection of artifacts, including statues from the fascist era and an exhibition of vintage cars and motorcycles, once abandoned and later salvaged from obscurity. The Via delle Memorie option takes you on a captivating journey through the subterranean route, expertly carved into the tuff stone. The tour commences in the basement of Palazzo Serra di Cassano, where you'll encounter an array of historical treasures, including World War II relics, 16th-century caves, and a 17th-century water tank that was later repurposed as a bomb shelter. Your adventure culminates with a stroll through the tunnel's final section, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Naples' hidden past.
