Large and deep garden with dense vegetation and a moving structure.
They extend to the northeast of the site and are among the most monumental and fascinating, with their dense vegetation and their eventful structure. According to Maupassant, "the most curious of the latomies is certainly that of the Capuchins, a vast and deep garden divided by vaults, arches, enormous rocks, and enclosed in white cliffs". Exploited for the construction of the new district of the Neapolis, these quarries probably date back to the5th century B.C. It was here that 7000 Athenian prisoners were locked up, all of whom died of cold or disease.
