There's a mystical Naples tucked away in the folds of this city at the heart of the Mediterranean, a city full of breathtaking natural, cultural and artistic beauty. Across three thousand years of history, the ancient Neapolis has never forgotten its magical roots and still guards a dark, esoteric side that today can be felt among cloisters and catacombs, noble palaces, churches built over pagan temples, unexplained mysteries and unsettling legends.
In the Naples hidden from the eyes of both residents and tourists, one can savor legendary myths, rites and traditions, alchemical experiments and discoveries left buried for centuries, magical gardens and secrets still waiting to be revealed. From the neighborhoods of the historic center to the sea at Mergellina and the acropolis of Cumae, Naples is home to some of the most esoteric places in Italy.
