To visit the remains of the Roman Theater, we will walk into a typical Neapolitan house, commonly referred to as a basso, meaning low, because it is located at street level of the city. Once inside, simply move aside a bed and open a hatch to access the remains of the ancient theater of Neapolis and the space where the emperor Nero also had his private dressing rooms whenever he came to put on his shows in Naples. The duration of the tour is approximately 20 minutes.
We have recently expanded the tour with a new discovery: the Summa Cavea section of the Greco-Roman theater. In an ancient carpentry workshop, another fragment of the theater appears in which there is a permanent exhibition of scarabattoli (glass cases for displaying images and sacred objects from the 17th century) used to preserve common nativity scenes and crèches from the city.
