There are two parts to visiting this very interesting historical site. The first is waking through the main Church area. While not as elaborate as the nearby basilica, it still has a very rich history and an older medieval feel. There are several tombs/coffins here from important families in the early history of Naples. There were also several students of a local tourism collage giving guided tours and explanations of the different parts of the church. It was very nice to hear the history from them (in English too!).
The church is built over a former ancient (Greek?) worship site that was wiped away by a flood. There were also ancient tombs below.
There is an underground city tour for 9 Euros. The guided tour explains how the ancient Greek structures were built over by the Romans and shows how the various construction layers show the history of the occupants and their architecture. It was really interesting to see how cities were built back then, including imagining how Roman shops, banks and markets would have looked. Part of the modern structure is from the medieval period and also quite interesting, and in rooms still used today! A true walking through history lane! You should get the guided tour to truly understand the underground city. Most tours are in Italian, but they offer a free English tours a day. We took the 11am English tour.
