Overview

Step back in time and uncover the haunting beauty of Pompeii, the ancient Roman city frozen in time by the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. Buried for centuries beneath volcanic ash, Pompeii’s remarkably preserved ruins offer a vivid glimpse into daily life nearly 2,000 years ago.

Wander through ancient streets, explore private homes, bathhouses, bakeries, temples, and frescoes, and imagine the final moments of this once-thriving city. With the insights of your expert licensed guide, history comes alive as you relive the story of Pompeii before the eruption changed everything.

This immersive half-day experience combines history, culture, and storytelling to give you an unforgettable journey into the past — all in the comfort of a small, guided group departing directly from Sorrento or from Naples

Discover the mystery, tragedy, and timeless beauty of Pompeii — one of the most fascinating archaeological sites in the world.

Tempio di Giove Capitolino

The Temple of Jupiter dominates the northern side of the Forum, and Vesuvius rises spectacularly behind it. With the deduction of the colony (80 BC) the temple was the subject of a radical renovation and became a real Capitolium, with the three cult statues of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva, which imitated those of the Capitolium in Rome, placed on a high base, so as to make them visible to those passing through the Forum square.

Macellum

The Macellum consists of a tuff of Quadri porticus with a hall for worship in an elevated position on the eastern side, in line with the entrance. The Macellum of Pompeii was nothing more than the city market where people could buy food. Located north-east of the Forum, the complex had to remain out of the way from the square so as not to create too much crowding, given the high number of people who certainly frequented it.The walls of the porticoes were decorated with scenes from daily life, such as selling fish and poultry, and mythological subjects.

Stabian Baths (Terme Stabiane)

The Stabian Baths were built at different times. The initial phase of construction dates back to the 4th BC. (the gym with a trapezoid base). The main entrance by Via dell'Abbondanza leads to a large courtyard. The pool is found to the left, whereas a colonnade is found to the right, which leads to the men's quarters, which are split into the apodyterium (dressing room), with the frigidarium (for cold baths), which leads to the tepidarium (for medium temperature baths) and then to the caldarium (for hot baths).The heating was guaranteed by a piping system in the walls and double floors that circulated the hot air coming from the furnaces and from mobile braziers. The women's quarters, close to the men's quarters, were split the same way into the apodyterium, tepidarium and caldarium. However, all were smaller and had no rich decorations as the men's quarters.)
