The Journey
Temple of Jupiter
Ascend to the Temple of Jupiter, Pompeii's grandest religious edifice, commanding breathtaking views of the imposing Mount Vesuvius. Originally dedicated to the Capitoline Triad (Jupiter, Juno, Minerva), this temple showcases a fascinating fusion of Greek and Roman architectural styles. Marvel at the temple's elevated position on a high podium, accessible by a wide staircase, and imagine the vibrant religious ceremonies that once unfolded within its sacred precincts. Discover the echoes of Pompeii's spiritual heart amidst the temple's partially restored columns and foundations.
Lupanar (Pompeii Brothel)
Step back in time at the Lupanar, Pompeii's most famous and well-preserved brothel, offering a rare glimpse into the city's vibrant and sometimes scandalous social life. Explore its small, intimate rooms adorned with explicit frescoes, providing insights into the erotic art and social customs of the era. Read the ancient graffiti etched into the walls by both patrons and workers, whispering tales of love, desire, and daily life. This intriguing site offers a unique and often provocative perspective on Roman society, far beyond the grand temples and public forums.
Pompeii Archaeological Park
Wander through the extraordinary Pompeii Archaeological Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site, and immerse yourself in the remarkably preserved remains of an ancient Roman city. Walk along original Roman streets, explore elaborate villas adorned with stunning frescoes, and discover the remnants of bustling shops and public buildings, all eerily frozen in time by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.
