Discover L’Aquila as you’ve never seen it before. Beyond its majestic squares and Baroque facades lies a hidden underground world —a labyrinth of secret tunnels, ancient "neviere" (ice houses), and medieval aqueducts recently reopened after years of meticulous restoration.

This immersive guided tour takes you deep into the city's foundations, where history blends with local myths and legends. Walking through these subterranean spaces, you will experience the authentic soul of a city that has preserved its medieval and early modern secrets for centuries. From the cool depths of ancient water systems to rediscovered chambers revealed by post-earthquake restoration, this is a unique opportunity to witness the architectural resilience and mystery of L’Aquila.
