Pompeii Archaeological Park - Located in southern Italy’s Campania region near the Bay of Naples, Pompeii is an expansive archaeological site. Once a flourishing and advanced Roman city, it was buried under layers of ash and pumice following Mount Vesuvius’s catastrophic eruption in 79 A.D. Visitors can explore the preserved ruins of streets and homes.
-
Forum - Situated at the center of Pompeii, the Forum was a bustling market and trade hub with significant political connections.
-
Tempio di Giove Capitolino - Overlooked by Vesuvius, this temple, featuring statues of Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva, served as the Capitolium, akin to the one in Ancient Rome. The statues were prominently displayed for visibility to those in the Forum.
-
Macellum - Located on the Forum, the Macellum was Pompeii’s provision market and a central point of the ancient city. Constructed in multiple phases, it was damaged during the earthquake of 62 CE.
-
Via dell’Abbondanza - This was the main street (decumanus maximus) of ancient Pompeii, stretching east/west from the Forum to Porta Sarno. It was lively and bustling with shops, workshops, cafes, snack-bars, and restaurants.
-
Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane) - Situated behind the Temple of Jupiter, the Forum Baths date back to the period following the founding of the veteran colony by General Silla (80 BC). Separate entrances were provided for women’s and men’s quarters. The men’s section included an apodyterium (dressing room), which also served as a tepidarium (medium temperature baths), frigidarium (cold baths), and calidarium (hot baths). The baths suffered significant damage during the earthquake of 62 AD.
-
Lupanar - The Lupanar of Pompeii is the most renowned brothel in the ancient Roman city, noted for its erotic wall paintings. “Lupanar” is Latin for “brothel.” It is also known as Lupanare Grande.
-
Casa del Fauno - The House of the Faun is one of Pompeii’s largest and most opulent private residences, occupying an entire city block. Named after the iconic bronze statue of a dancing faun in its main atrium, the house is a Roman architectural masterpiece with Hellenistic influences. It is famous for the Alexander Mosaic, depicting the battle between Alexander the Great and Darius III of Persia. With two peristyle gardens and intricate floor mosaics, it symbolizes the wealth and refined taste of the city’s elite. The house belonged to Quintus Poppaeus Sabinus of the Poppei family, relatives of Empress Poppea Sabina, Nero’s second wife.
-
Teatro Grande - The Large Theater of Pompeii, constructed by the Romans on a hillside, utilized the natural depression to create a grand auditorium divided into five sectors. It hosted tragedies from Greco-Roman traditions.
-
Basilica - The Basilica is the Forum’s most lavish building, used for business and justice administration.
-
Vesuvius National Park - Reach the crater’s edge at 1,280 meters to enjoy a stunning view of the Gulf of Naples. The path is uneven, but the experience is rewarding. Following the eruption, it was named after Vulcan, the Roman God of Flame and Metal Forgery.
-
Vesuvius National Park - Drop off at 1,000 meters on the Volcano. Mount Vesuvius, a somma-stratovolcano, is located on the Gulf of Naples in Campania, Italy, about 9 km east of Naples and close to the shore. The 79 AD eruption destroyed Pompeii and Herculaneum. Vesuvius is not solitary; it is connected to another mountain, Monte Somma. It is considered one of the world’s most dangerous volcanoes. Experts agree that a significant eruption is overdue, with a vast 154 square mile magma layer beneath Vesuvius, leading to constant monitoring by scientists.
