What to expect

    Porta Marina Superiore: the guide will be waiting for you outside the archaeological park with the sign “Pompeii Vip”.
    It forms the western entrance to the city and the name "Marina" comes from the fact that the outgoing road led to the sea.

  2. Foro de Pompeya
    15m
    The Civil Forum represents the center of the city's daily life, overlooked by all the main public buildings for the administration of the city and justice, for the management of business, for commercial activities, such as markets, as well as the main places of city worship
  3. Terme del Foro
    15m
    Forum Baths: they are one of the best-preserved elements of the city. They were not large in size but had all the facilities of Roman baths. They were divided into two sections: male and female, with independent entrances. Always used as a repository for archaeological material, and thus occupied by bulky shelving, the Baths revealed painted surfaces that had remained unknown until now due to thick concretions obliterating their polychromatic.
  4. Archaeological Park of Pompeii
    10m
    The highest level of the roman architecture for homes it's all around this boulevard where art the end we can visit the Tower of mercury
  5. Casa delle Nozze d'Argento
    15m
    The house is one of the most solemn and majestic examples of what the home of a member of the Pompeian aristocracy must have looked like. It owes its name to the visit of royals Umberto I and Margaret of Savoy on the day of their silver wedding celebration in 1893.
  6. House of Caecilius Jucundus
    15m
    this house belonged to the banker of Pompeii, and his entire archives consisting of 154 waxed writing tablets dating between 53 and 62 A.D. were found intact. These consisted of sale contracts for land, animals or slaves and receipts for the payment of colonial taxes, as Lucius Caecilius Jucundus was also the official tax collector.
  7. Via dell’Abbondanza
    10m
    The insula 12 of "Casti Amanti" consists of several dwellings and a bakery. The insula takes its name from the decoration of a triclinium with paintings depicting three banquets set at as many times of the year, including the summer one with the exchange of the languid kiss between two lovers.
    In the stable attached to the bakery, the skeletons of the mules used to turn the millstones present and load the grain needed to make bread were found
  8. Archaeological Park of Pompeii
    30m
    at the end of the Casti Amanti trail, along Via dell'Abbondanza you will end your visit in an area where you will find Cafe & Wine Bar that allows users to try seasonal products and relax
