In fact, in the 5th century BC, after a series of urban planning initiatives begun in the final decades of the previous century, the maritime colony of Puteoli was founded on the summit of Rione Terra, which soon became the port of Rome and one of the main ports in the Mediterranean. The promontory, arranged in terraces sloping down towards the sea, is traversed by a network of streets organized into cardines and decumani, which form rectangular blocks of various sizes, adapted to the profile of the tuff bank. Despite the collapse along its slopes, Rione Terra still retains a highly visual urban layout.

The promontory's highest terrace was intended to house public buildings, both religious and secular, while the residential area and commercial activities developed on the lower terraces, of which numerous shops and porticoes remain today. These buildings were tightly packed across the entire available area, often sharing perimeter walls due to lack of space. The warehouses will be open on September 23rd and 24th, from 9:13 a.m. to 6:XNUMX p.m., with a maximum of six people allowed per tour. Reservations are required and can be made by emailing the Superintendency's Press Office.

On the evening of September 23rd, from 20:23 PM to XNUMX:XNUMX PM, the Superintendency offices at the Palazzo Reale in Naples will be open to the public. Visitors will be able to admire "the most enchanting window in Naples," with a view so beautiful it almost seems fake, and a small exhibition of archaeological finds seized by the Carabinieri Protection Unit, recently returned.
