   Archaeological Park of Pompeii

   Pompeii is a vast archaeological site in southern Italy’s Campania region, near the coast of the Bay of Naples. Once a thriving and sophisticated Roman city, Pompeii was buried under meters of ash and pumice after the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The preserved site features excavated ruins of streets and houses that visitors can freely explore.

3. 3

   Foro de Pompeya

   Pass by

   The Forum was the beating heart of Pompeii, serving as the city's main piazza and the center of all political, religious, and economic life. Surrounded by a majestic two-story colonnade, this vast open space was strictly pedestrian and hosted the city's most important public buildings, including the Basilica and the Temple of Jupiter. Framed by the dramatic silhouette of Mount Vesuvius in the background, it remains the most iconic spot in the ruins, where citizens once gathered for elections, markets, and sacred sacrifices.

   Macellum

   Pass by

   The Macellum of Pompeii was located on the Forum and as the provision market of Pompeii was one of the focal points of the ancient city. The building was constructed in several phases. When the earthquake of 62 CE destroyed large parts of Pompeii, the Macellum was also damaged.

   Via dell’Abbondanza

   Via dell'Abbondanza is the main commercial artery of Pompeii, stretching from the Forum to the Sarno Gate. As the city's longest thoroughfare, it offers a vivid glimpse into ancient daily life through its well-preserved shops, workshops, and vibrant electoral graffiti. Walking its basalt stones today, you can still see the iconic raised stepping stones and grand facades that once defined the heartbeat of this Roman city.

7. 7

   Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane)

   Pass by

   The Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane) are the oldest and largest public bathing complex in Pompeii, located at the intersection of Via dell'Abbondanza. They represent a masterpiece of Roman engineering, featuring a sophisticated underfloor heating system known as a hypocaust and distinct sections for men and women. Visitors can still admire the elegant stucco decorations, the open-air gymnasium (palaestra), and the large swimming pool that made this site the ultimate social and wellness hub of the city.

8. 8

   Villa dei Misteri

   Pass by

   Via delle Ville (often referred to as the path to the Villa of the Mysteries) is a scenic road located outside Pompeii’s city walls, leading away from the Porto Ercolano gate. This ancient route is famous for connecting the urban center to the suburbs, passing through a significant necropolis lined with impressive tombs. Its most famous destination is the Villa of the Mysteries, a suburban estate renowned for its breathtaking frescoes depicting Dionysian rites, offering a quiet, atmospheric contrast to the bustling city streets.
