Travel Guides

Located under the streets of Italy are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of long since forgotten tunnels and buildings. Having been abandoned and built upon long ago, citizens often find hidden treasures of history located within the depths of their own homes, behind hidden doors and stairways that have gone undiscovered for decades. It is a part of Italy’s legacy, and one that is unknown to many outsides who have never visited the country.
But one man went beyond the usual mystery associates with these secret locations, and began to build his own modern legend: the Temples of Damanhur. Stemming from what he claims are visions he has had since he was a young boy, Oberto Airaudi (also known as ‘Falco’) has created an underground world of wonder and beauty, a temple consisting of several rooms filled with towering pillars, arches, and some incredible works of art, spanning from one wall to the next.
