-
Pompeii
Is the most stunning archaeological site on the Italian Peninsula and one of the most visited. The ruins of Pompeii are an open air museum where visitors can go back in time and discover a city that had been buried in ashes until 1748. Visitors experience the city much as it existed more than 2000 years ago.
-
Oplontis
The Villa Poppaea is a Roman villa situated between Naples and Sorrento which dates from the early Imperial period. The villa is a large structure situated in the Roman town of Oplontis (modern day – Torre Annunziata). It was owned by the Emperor Nero and used by his second wife Poppaea Sabina as her main residence when not in Rome. The frescos decorating the walls are among the best preserved, both in form and in colour, of all Imperial Roman frescos. The roof of the building largely survived the eruption thus affording protection from the elements.
-
Herculaneum
The smaller sister of Pompeii, is a destination for lovers of beauty. Visitors to the ancient city have the rare opportunity to see perfectly intact patrician villas. A miracle of preservation where even the wood and ropes of the 2000 year old city are on display, along with stunning brick work, mosaics, and frescos. The detail with which Herculaneum has been preserved is remarkable considering the violence of the 500 C° volcanic flows which ravaged the city.
