Macellum of Naples, Ancient Roman market beneath San Lorenzo Maggiore church in Naples, Italy.
The underground Macellum contains rows of stone shops, market stalls, and a central courtyard with remnants of original mosaic floors from Roman times.
The market structure originated in the 5th century BC as a Greek agora before Romans transformed it into a macellum during the 2nd century AD.
The excavated market halls and chambers display the commercial organization of Roman Naples with specific areas for different types of goods and services.
The archaeological complex opens daily from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, with guided tours available in multiple languages at the entrance desk.
A 5th-century mudslide preserved the market structures, creating an underground time capsule of Roman commercial architecture beneath modern Naples.
