About Torre Annunziata
Torre Annunziata sits directly on top of Oplontis, a Roman seaside settlement buried by Vesuvius in 79 AD, and its archaeological heart is the Villa of Poppaea — one of the best-preserved Roman villas anywhere in Campania. History-minded travellers can explore it on a Private Tour of the Roman Villa of Poppaea at Oplontis, or cross into neighbouring Pompeii on a Pompeii: 3-Hour Villa of Mysteries Tour with an Archaeologist, where a working archaeologist reads the frescoes and household rooms as living evidence rather than scenery.
