The Underground City of Naours: A Subterranean Settlement Complete with Bakeries and Chapels
Many stories have been told about hidden underground cities or realms. Examples from fiction include the underground compound inhabited by the Morlocks in H.G. Well’s, The Time Machine and the underground Elven city of Menegroth in J.R.R. Tolkien’s Silmarillion. Most underground cities in fiction tend to be mysterious places that are governed by hidden magical forces or are located in exotic science fiction settings. There are, however, real underground cities too. And these subterranean settlements can also cast a spell of deep interest over their visitors. One famous example in France is the cité souterraine de Naours (underground city of Naours).
