The BBC’s series that started last week with fabulous film and virtual reconstructions of tunnels and monuments under present day Naples (#invisiblecities #italy) reminded me of my mini-excursion underground in 2012. Roman remains are built into the arteries of underground Naples and I was fascinated to see how Roman walls and arches were criss-crossed with later construction. First we visited some later tunnels where watercourses ran, then on to the Roman stuff!

Decorative Roman wall to the right – note the diamond pattern and even brickwork – crossed at 90 degrees by some later jumbled bodgy construction.
See much more at BBC One – Invisible Cities with Dr Michael Scott and Alexander Armstrong.

Great photos, Alison. What a fantastic TV series, can’t wait for the next one on Venice!
It was because of the TV series that I dug out my photos!
Looking forward to the other programmes.
