Rather wet today so stayed around the historic centre of Naples, which stands today much as it has done for thousands of years, a maze of narrow alleys and cluttered buildings.

Took a trip down to the array of caves which spread below the city, mirroring the street above. You get there by squeezing through some rather tight tunnels, just 50cm wide, not for the claustrophobic. The tunnels link a series of caves, first hewn out by Greek settlers who quarried the rock to build the house above. Quite an amazing array, partly destroyed by allied bombing in the second World War.

Above in the centre of the city stands a church on the place where the old Roman forum once stood, and some houses still incorporate parts of the building which once housed the Roman theatre, where once the Emperor Nero entertained plebeians.
