Alchemy and misteries in Naples

around the old town (2 h)

Naples is a millennial city, full of stories and history: sacred and profane, life and death, dark and light, the eternal dualism is the main feature of it.

From Jesus square, the “official” entrance of the old town, we will see misterious statues, alchemic symbols, very important people and ancient gods, without counting our saints and modern cults.
