Dive deep into the hidden layers of Naples with a guided tour of the fascinating Galleria Borbonica. The tour highlights the tunnel's transformation, including its use during wartime and its current status as a historical site, showcasing remnants of its past.

Galleria Borbonica, located a mere 100 meters from Plebiscito Square, presents a fascinating entrance to the Bourbon Tunnel. This site, once a veterinary laboratory, now leads visitors down a staircase with eight ramps, descending 33 yards into the heart of Naples' Chiaia district. An alternative entrance is located at Via Domenico Morelli 40, accessible through the 'Quick parking' crosswalk.

The tunnel's origins trace back to 1853, when it was commissioned by Ferdinand II of Bourbon. The king, worried about potential uprisings, intended it as an escape route from the Royal Palace to the military barrack in Via della Pace, now known as Via Morelli. However, the construction was never fully completed.

During World War II, the tunnel found a new purpose, serving as a military hospital for local residents. After the war, it transformed into the Hall Judicial Deposit, a testament to the turbulent times.

The tunnel bore silent witness to Naples' rich and complex history, which makes it a must-visit during your trip to the city.

The activity is offered in 2 languages: English and Italian. A professional guide leads the tour.
