Review:
Galleria Borbonica, or the Bourbon Tunnel, is an 1853 tunnel that connects Palazzo Reale to the military barracks and to the sea. It was the idea of Ferdinand II to have an escape route that followed the 17th century Carmignano aqueduct system. During World War II, the underground tunnel system doubled as a shelter during air raids and as a military hospital. Tours start at the Morelli parking area near the second entrance to the tunnels. Regular tours don’t need advanced reservations. The 80-minute Adventure Tour is a combination walk/raft tour that must be pre-booked. History and archaeology buffs may prefer the 2.5-hour Speleo Tour, which is for adults only.
