The Ipogeo dei Cristallini or the “Hypogeum of Cristallini Street” is part of an ancient necropolis in Naples dated 2,300 years ago. It is uniquely Greek, or Hellenistic and will open to the public in mid-2022. Naples, Italy is renowned for lying on the ruins of ancient Roman Herculaneum and Pompeii, which were wiped out by Mount Vesuvius.
However, the slated opening of the Naples necropolis to the general public in June of this year will be celebrating the ancient city’s Greek origins, reports The Greek City Times . The Greeks built an exotic Hellenistic culture at Neapolis (Naples) and the soon-to-be-opened hypogeum necropolis “museum” site will be showcasing this era of Naples’ history.
