   Porta Marina was one of the main gates of ancient Pompeii and the point where many travelers first entered the city. Located near the port area, it connects to the city’s defensive walls and shows how Pompeii controlled access and protected itself. Through this gate you can still walk along the original stone ramp and see the impressive fortifications that once welcomed merchants, sailors, and visitors arriving from the Bay of Naples.

   Temple of Apollo

   The Temple of Apollo is one of the oldest and most important religious sites in Pompeii, dedicated to Apollo, the god of the sun, music, and prophecy. Set in a large open courtyard near the Forum, it once featured elegant columns and statues, including a famous bronze of Apollo aiming his bow. From here, worshippers could make offerings and seek guidance from the god, making the temple a central part of Pompeii’s spiritual life.

   Pompeii’s Forum offers visitors a direct encounter with the city’s civic heart. From the modern walkways and terraces surrounding the square, you can observe the spatial arrangement of temples, administrative buildings, and market structures that once framed public life. This elevated perspective makes it easier to understand how politics, religion, and commerce intersected in a single monumental space. With the ruins of the Capitolium, Basilica, and Macellum all in view, the Forum reveals itself as a bustling stage where announcements were made, deals were brokered, and festivals unfolded at the foot of Mount Vesuvius.

5. 5

   Macellum

   5min

   The Macellum was Pompeii’s main food market, a covered complex where vendors sold fish, meat, fruit, and imported delicacies. Its layout of stalls, storerooms, and a central shrine illustrates the organization of Roman commerce and the importance of food supply in urban life. Excavated counters, marble tables, and decorative elements still evoke the lively bustle of shoppers and traders that once filled the market each morning.

6. 6

   Terme del Foro

   10min

   The Forum Baths were among the most elegant public bath complexes in Pompeii, serving as a social and recreational hub for citizens. Divided into men’s and women’s sections, the complex included changing rooms, warm and hot bathing halls, and a cold plunge pool, all heated by an advanced hypocaust system. Remarkably preserved stucco reliefs and vaulted ceilings still convey the refined atmosphere that once made bathing a daily ritual of hygiene, leisure, and conversation.

7. 7

   Casa dei Vettii

   10min

   The House of the Vettii is one of Pompeii’s finest aristocratic residences, renowned for its richly decorated frescoes and elegant architectural layout. Built around spacious atria and peristyle gardens, it reflects the lifestyle and aspirations of wealthy merchant owners in the 1st century AD. Mythological paintings, ornamental motifs, and refined domestic spaces offer a vivid glimpse into elite taste and the artistic culture of the Roman home.

   10min

   The Insula dei Casti Amanti is a residential and commercial block named after a vivid fresco showing a pair of lovers sharing an affectionate moment. Today visitors access the site via elevated ramps that allow a clear, panoramic view into the workshops, storerooms, and domestic rooms below, without disturbing the fragile archaeological surfaces. From this perspective, it becomes easy to picture craftsmen at work and families moving between spaces, as trade and home life were closely intertwined in Pompeii. The preserved frescoes, painted signs, and half-finished renovations reveal a neighborhood caught in the midst of its daily routine at the moment of the eruption in AD 79, offering rare insight into the city’s urban fabric and the social world of its working inhabitants
