The Water Museum is the fulcrum of the underground path of the Basilica of Pietrasanta.
This amazing hydraulic engineering project brings ancient Greco-Roman cisterns back to work.
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 della Pietrasanta, today LAPIS Museum, boasts a suggestive underground path, a "Submerged Decumanus".
Today the cisterns find water and streams, and have been enhanced by a lighting-technical system that emphasizes volumes and vaults thanks to lights and colors.
A significant step was taken by installing the first archaeological lift in the historic centre, capable of connecting the crypt environment with the subsoil in just 20 seconds, descending to a depth of 35 meters and 2000 years back in time.
