The Bourbon Tunnel (Galleria Borbonica), Tunnel Borbonico or Bourbon Gallery is an ancient underground passage that was constructed to connect the Royal Palace to military barracks in Naples. Presently the tunnels are open for tours, and contains decades of debris, including vintage cars and a discarded fascist monument made for Aurelio Padovani, captain of Bersaglieri during the First World War and founder of the Neapolitan fascist party.
