Stazione Neapolis, Archaeological museum in Museo district, Naples, Italy.
Stazione Neapolis is an exhibition space within the Museo subway station, positioned directly below the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. The installation displays artifacts spanning prehistoric times through Greek, Roman, and Byzantine periods, all discovered during metro construction work.
The site emerged from excavation works during construction of Metro Line 1, which uncovered thousands of objects buried beneath the city. These discoveries revealed multiple layers of settlement and culture accumulated over thousands of years.
The displays feature marble inscriptions and architectural fragments that reveal how the city changed across different periods. Visitors can observe these pieces directly without mediation, getting a sense of how people built and decorated their spaces over time.
Access is through the Museo metro station and admission is free for all visitors using the station. Hours follow Metro Line 1 schedules, so checking current times before arriving helps you plan your visit properly.
Among the most striking finds is a Neolithic clay plow model discovered at Toledo station during construction work. This rare object offers insight into early farming techniques and remains one of the oldest agricultural tools documented in the region.
