-
Foro di Pompei - The Pompeii Forum was the bustling heart of the ancient city, serving as its main political, religious, and commercial hub. It is a large, rectangular pedestrian plaza—approximately 157 by 38 meters—that was completely off-limits to chariot traffic.
-
Via dell’Abbondanza - Via dell’Abbondanza is the longest and most significant street in Pompeii, acting as the city’s main commercial and social thoroughfare (the Decumanus Inferior). Extending from the Forum to the Sarno Gate, it offers a vivid glimpse into daily Roman life.
-
Terme del Foro - The Forum Baths (Terme del Foro) are a remarkably well-preserved public bath complex in Pompeii, situated just behind the Temple of Jupiter. Constructed around 80 BC, they were the only public baths still in use at the time of the eruption in 79 AD.
Visitors can walk through the original sequence of Roman bathing: the Apodyterium (changing room), the Frigidarium (cold bath), the Tepidarium (warm room), and the Calidarium (hot room). The rooms feature high barrel-vaulted ceilings with intricate stucco reliefs and terracotta figures known as telamones.
- Temple of Apollo - The Temple of Apollo is one of the oldest and most significant religious sites in Pompeii, with origins dating back to the 6th century BC. Located in the Forum area, it serves as a central landmark for any walking tour.
The temple is a unique blend of Greek and Italic styles, featuring an elevated podium accessed by an impressive set of stairs and a portico with 48 columns. Visitors can view bronze replicas of Apollo as an archer and his twin sister Diana. The original Hellenistic bronze masterpieces are preserved in the National Archaeological Museum in Naples.
-
Basilica - The Basilica is the most imposing and important public building in Pompeii, located in the southwestern corner of the Forum. Dating back to the 2nd century BC, it is one of the oldest examples of its kind in the Roman world.
-
House of the Vettii - The House of the Vettii (Casa dei Vettii) is often referred to as the “Sistine Chapel” of Pompeii. Reopened in 2023 after a meticulous 20-year restoration, it is one of the most opulent and perfectly preserved residences in the city.
The house belonged to Aulus Vettius Conviva and Aulus Vettius Restitutus, two former slaves (freedmen) who became immensely wealthy wine merchants. The home was designed specifically to showcase their new status and luxury.
-
Teatro Grande - The Teatro Grande (Large Theatre) of Pompeii is one of the world’s oldest surviving masonry theaters, originally constructed in the 2nd century BC. Carved into a natural lava hillside, it beautifully illustrates the transition from Greek to Roman architectural styles.
-
Antiquarium of Pompeii - The Antiquarium of Pompeii is the site’s primary museum, offering a modern, climate-controlled space to view the most fragile and precious artifacts discovered across the ruins. Here, visitors can see the famous Casts: While some casts remain in situ at the ruins, the Antiquarium displays several poignant plaster casts of victims, including small children, preserved in their final moments.
