- Pompeii Archaeological Park - Embark on a guided tour of Pompeii. Explore the Forum, the vibrant center of Pompeii, surrounded by significant public structures like the Basilica, the Temple of Jupiter, and the Macellum (food market). The Forum offers a glimpse into the civic life of ancient Pompeii.
- Teatro Grande - The Large Theatre was ingeniously constructed using the natural slope of the hill for the auditorium. The seating was divided into three sections with corridors, further split into five sectors, and was supported by a passage with a barrel vault.
Built around the mid-2nd century BC, it underwent extensive restoration in the Roman style. An inscription at the entrance of the corridor leading to the east, one of the few known references to the architects’ names, commemorates the renovations carried out during the Augustan era by Marcus Artorius Primus.
- Forum - The Civil Forum was the hub of daily life in the city, serving as the focal point for all major public buildings related to city administration, justice, business, trade activities like markets, and key places of citizen worship.
- Pompei La Basilica - Spanning 1,500 square meters, the Basilica was the most opulent building in the Forum, used for business and judicial administration. It is accessible from the Forum through five entrances separated by tuff pillars; inside, it is divided into three naves with two rows of brick columns topped with Ionic capitals. A richly adorned suggestum, where judges presided over judicial matters, is located at the center of the short western side.
- Macellum - The Macellum features a tuff quadriporticus with a worship hall elevated on the eastern side, aligned with the entrance. Copies of two marble statues, a female and a male warrior, are displayed in the niches of the side wall, along with a fragment of a larger statue, likely of an emperor, Titus or Vespasian, indicating the area’s dedication to the imperial cult. To the left is a room for sacred board meetings, and to the right, a large room with a masonry counter, possibly for selling fish.
- Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane) - Dating back to the 2nd century BC, the Stabian baths are among the oldest known in the Roman world. The main entrance on Via dell’Abbondanza leads to a spacious courtyard. The pool is on the left, while a colonnade on the right leads to the men’s quarters, divided into the apodyterium (dressing room), frigidarium (cold baths), tepidarium (medium temperature baths), and calidarium (hot baths).
Heating was provided by a piping system in the walls and double floors that circulated hot air from the furnaces and mobile braziers.
- Granai del Foro - Located on the western side of the Forum, these structures with eight openings separated by brick pillars were used as the fruit and vegetable market (Forum Holitorium). Today, they house the largest archaeological collection in the city, with over 9,000 artifacts from Pompeii and its surroundings since the late 19th century. They preserve terracotta crockery used in the city’s final decades for everyday activities, such as cooking pots and pans, jugs and bottles, and amphorae, large containers for transporting oil, wine, and fish sauce across the Mediterranean.
