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.
The prehistoric find is not a plow but traces of a cultivated field from the 4th millennium BC, found in Via Toledo at the foot of the Sant'Elmo hill. It survived because an eruption in the Phlegraean area covered it in ash.
