    2 hours

  • N/A

    The Basilica, with its extension of 1,500 square meters, was the most sumptuous building of the Forum, and its space was used to carry out business and for the administration of justice.

    15 minutes

  • N/A

    The Civil Forum is the core of daily life of the city and is the focal point of all the main public buildings for city administration and justice, business management, and trade activities such as markets, as well as the main places of citizen worship.

    15 minutes

  • N/A

    The Sanctuary of Apollo is one of the oldest places of worship in Pompeii, built in a strategic point, along the path that goes up to Marina Gate, which led to the public heart of the city. God as the founding cult of the settlement refers to the Greek and Etruscan presence in the Campania region.

    15 minutes

  • N/A

    The Temple of Jupiter dominates the north side of the Forum, with Mount Vesuvius scenically rising behind. When the colony was founded (80 BC), the temple underwent a radical renovation and became a real Capitolium with the three cult statues of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva, which looked like those of the Capitolium in Rome, placed on a high base so as to make them visible to whoever passed in the Forum square.

    15 minutes

  • Macellum

    The Macellum consists of a tuff quadriporticus with a hall for worship in an elevated position on the eastern side, in line with the entrance. The copies of two marble statues, a female and a male armed, are found on the niches of the side wall, together with the fragment of a larger statue, probably pertaining to an emperor, Titus or Vespasian, indicating how this area was intended for the imperial cult

    15 minutes

  • Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane)

    The main entrance on via dell'Abbondanza leads to a large courtyard. The pool is found to the left, whereas a colonnade is found to the right, which leads to the men's quarters, which are split into the apodyterium (dressing room), with the frigidarium (for cold baths), which leads to the tepidarium (for medium temperature baths) and then to the calidarium (for hot baths). The heating was guaranteed by a piping system in the walls and double floors that circulated the hot air coming from the furnaces and from mobile braziers. The women's quarters, close to the men's quarters, was split the same way in the apodyterium, tepidarium and calidarium. The Stabian baths are among the oldest we know of the Roman world.

    15 minutes

  • Lupanar

    The prostitutes in the brothel were mostly Greek and Oriental slaves who were paid between two and eight Asses (a glass of wine cost one Ass) for their services. Small paintings with erotic depictions on the walls of the central corridor informed customers of the activities that took place within the Lupanare. The brothel is named from lupa, a Latin word meaning 'prostitute'.

    15 minutes

  • Teatro Grande

    The Large Theatre was built by exploiting the natural slope of the hill for the construction of the auditorium. In the theatre they represented comedies and tragedies of Greek-Roman tradition.

Wonderful trip

Published on Oct, 2024

Great tour. Pompeii was the first stop and the guide was excellent, telling lots of facts about the site and the history Easy to understand and very knowledgeable Vesuvius was a great achievement Walking to the top took us more that 20 mins which was suggested - more like 40 and in that time we didn't get right round to the viewing platform on the far side so would have liked a bit longer here
