Stazione Metro Toledo

This guide to Stazione Metro Toledo in Naples follows what happened when engineers digging Naples' newest subway stop kept running into the past: a Greek defensive wall, a Roman bathhouse, and a Spanish bastion buried under Via Toledo. It tracks the tug of war between tunneling crews racing a hidden aquifer, archaeologists cataloguing six thousand years of remains, and mosaic artisans tiling William Kentridge's designs by hand. Each trade worked to its own rhythm, sharing one hole in the ground for years.
