Lapis Museum: guided tour of the Submerged Decumanus

The Museum of Water is the focal point of the underground path of the Basilica of Pietrasanta.

This fantastic project of hydraulic engineering brings back into operation the ancient Greco-Roman cisterns.

This Complex, located in the historic center of Naples, was built by the architect Cosimo Fanzago in the mid-17th century, on the remains of the Ancient Temple of the goddess Diana.

The Basilica of Pietrasanta, now LAPIS Museum, boasts an evocative underground path, a "Sunken Decumanus".

Today the cisterns have water flowing back and have been enhanced by a lighting and technical system that emphasizes volumes and arches through lights and colors.

A significant step was taken by installing the first archaeological elevator in the historic center, capable of connecting the crypt environment with the underground in just 20 seconds, descending to a depth of 35 meters and 2000 years back in time.
