Visitors will have the chance to admire the rooms reconstructed of the building, dedicated to the Shrine of the Augustals and the Nymphaeum of Punta Epitaph, as well as the extensive collection of historical artifacts from the sections of Cuma, Pozzuoli and Rione Terra.
But there are many many other wonders that Terra Felix offers us and, therefore, as to miss the appointment with the “four steps” in the company of the Association Sciò Napoli?
The team of guides offers for the weekend three missed appointments. First round, first race with a close encounter with the Naples real and true, drifting from the folklore of the village of Rua Catalana and adventuring through the narrow streets and alleys that intersect behind Via Medina.
And if all that walking has aroused the appetite, calm and … enjoy the history and the historical Neapolitan dish of the many taverns that serve as the final stage in the grand tour “Made in Naples”.

Still, always on Saturday , is planning a more unique route that leads between doors and gates of the most famous of Naples, which was, by the seventeenth-century Port’Alba door commissioned by the Duke of Alba, the Door of San Gennaro, dedicated the patron saint of the city , ending with the inlays and the frescoes that adorn the doors of the churches of Constantinople Street with its fine architecture, and charming antique shops .
That’s it, at least for the day Saturday, because the initiatives are continuing even in the day of celebration on Sunday, February 9.
You continue to walk , in fact, the streets of the beautiful Partenope , this time with a picturesque walking path through the stairs of Pedamentina , the Certosa of San Martino way down to the Historical Center of the city, with the aim of illustrating the history of this stretch Neapolis , revitalizing and re-evaluating its role as a focal point before the advent of modern cable railways and subways .
Finally, the last event on the calendar, leads us directly into the heart of the Vergini-Sanità , north of the powerful Greek walls , where lies the extraordinary Hellenistic necropolis of Neapolis , destined since the fourth century . a. C. to the place of burial.
Then you can not only visit the underground area , but also show the excavations of the Metro ( Line 1 ), all by the Association Celanapoli .
Finally, among the monuments carved in white tuff and before the solemnity of the burial tombs of Macedonian origin , it will be perceived clearly and distinctly are given the strong presence of Greek culture , in which the city of Naples has many aspects of its current identity .
