Itinerary

1. Archaeological Park of Pompeii
The city of Pompeii remained intact at the day it was submerged by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD. and during the two-hour visit, between domus, shops and the Amphitheater we will be able to relive the daily life of the ancient Romans.
Duration: 45 mins
2. Anfiteatro Romano
The Amphitheater of Pompeii was built around 70 BC. by Q. Valgo and M. Porcio, the duumviri quinquennales, it is, until today, the oldest building intended for the gladiatorial shows.
Duration: 15 mins
3. Foro de Pompeya
The Civil Forum represents the center of the daily life of the city, all the main public buildings for the administration of the city and justice, for the management of business, for commercial activities, such as markets, overlook it, in addition to the main places of city worship.
Duration: 10 mins
4. Macellum
The Macellum consists of a tuff quadriporticus 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.
Duration: 10 mins
5. 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.
Duration: 10 mins
6. 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 the 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 calidarium (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, was split the same way in the apodyterium, tepidarium and calidarium. However, all were smaller and had no rich decorations as the men's quarters.)
Duration: 10 mins
