• Pompeii Archaeological Park - Located in the southern Campania region near the Gulf of Naples, the ruins of Pompeii form an extensive archaeological site. Once a flourishing Roman city, Pompeii was buried under layers of ash and pumice following Mount Vesuvius’s eruption in 79 AD. Visitors can explore the preserved streets and houses that have been excavated.
• Forum - The Civil Forum was the hub of daily life in the city, surrounded by key public buildings for city administration, justice, business management, and commercial activities like markets. It also housed the main places of city worship.
• Tempio di Giove Capitolino - Dominating the northern side of the Forum, the Temple of Jupiter stands with Vesuvius as a dramatic backdrop. After the colony’s establishment in 80 BC, the temple underwent significant renovation to become a true Capitolium, featuring statues of Jupiter, Juno, and Minerva, modeled after those in Rome’s Capitolium, placed on a high base for visibility from the Forum square.
• Macellum - The Macellum, a tuff of Quadri porticus, includes a worship hall on the elevated eastern side, aligned with the entrance. It served as the city market for food purchases, located northeast of the Forum to avoid overcrowding the square, given its high foot traffic. The portico walls were adorned with scenes of daily life, such as fish and poultry sales, and mythological themes.
• Via dell’Abbondanza - This is one of Pompeii’s main streets, connecting the Forum with the Amphitheatre.
• Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane) - Constructed in phases, the Stabian Baths date back to the 4th century BC. The main entrance on Via dell’Abbondanza opens to a large courtyard, with a pool on the left and a colonnade leading to the men’s quarters on the right. These quarters include the apodyterium (dressing room), frigidarium (cold baths), tepidarium (medium temperature baths), and caldarium (hot baths). Heating was provided by a system of pipes in the walls and double floors circulating hot air from furnaces and mobile braziers. The women’s quarters, adjacent to the men’s, were similarly divided but smaller and less ornate.
• Lupanare di Pompei - Known for its erotic paintings, the brothel of Pompeii is a prominent excavation site. The prostitutes, mainly Greek and Oriental slaves, worked in a two-story building. The owner’s and slaves’ quarters were upstairs, while five rooms with built-in beds were downstairs. The name “Lupanare” derives from “Lupa,” the Latin word for ‘prostitute.’
• Teatro Grande - Constructed in the mid-2nd century BC and later restored in Roman style, the Large Theatre hosted Greek and Roman comedies and tragedies. It was the first major public building to be cleared of eruption deposits.
