Latomia of Santa Venera

saint veneratesThe latomia of Santa Venera is the easternmost of the Neapolis Park. In the eighteenth century it was transformed into a garden with a rich sub-tropical vegetation, a centuries-old “ficus of the pagodas” is still visible today. The Latomia was used in Greek times as a place of devotion for the heroized dead, as evidenced by the votive grooves in the northern walls of the latomia.
