Visit the ancient ruins of Pompeii. Buried by ash in the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, Pompeii today offers one of the most well-preserved archaeological ruins to explore. Remarkable structures still remain, many with amazing details and markings. Examples of mosaic floors, baths and temples may be seen. Enjoy a breathtaking look through the centuries as you step back into antiquity.
The Villa Poppaea is an ancient Roman seaside villa situated between Naples and Sorrento, in southern Italy. It is also referred to as the Villa Oplontis. The villa is a large structure situated in the ancient Roman town of Oplontis (the modern Torre Annunziata), about ten meters below the modern ground level. Evidence suggests that it was owned by the Emperor Nero, and believed to have been used by his second and rather notorious wife, Poppaea Sabina, as her main residence when she was not in Rome.
