Villa of the Mysteries
The site is fabled for its wall frescos which are believed to illustrate the initiation of a young woman into a Greco-Roman mystery cult. It was discovered in 1910 and is said to have belonged to the Istacidii’s, a wealthy family that resided in Pompeii during the Augustan Era.
The House of the Tragic Poet
Also known as the Homeric House or The Iliadic House, this is 2nd Century villa is deemed to have the best interiors amongst all the houses in Pompeii due to the still-visible frescoes and elegant decor. Archaeologist Antonio Bonucci excavated the house in 1824.
The Temple of Isis

Stabian Baths

This luxurious Domus, through its fresco and pictorial depictions, tells a great deal about the rich merchants of Pompeii.

House of the Faun
Also known as Casa del Fauno, this house was built during the 2nd century BC and is found to be one of the largest and most impressive private residences in Pompeii. This luxurious aristocratic household was home to several famed pieces of art like the legendary Alexander Mosaic, and speaks a great deal about the lives of the rich Romans. It houses 2 atriums, one intended for residence and the other for work.
Forum of Pompeii
The Forum was the hub of cultural and political life in Pompeii. It housed the marketplace, bathhouses, and a unique, cross-shaped courthouse that later influenced European churches. Despite the ruins, Pompeii's grandeur and elegance live on through its intricate architecture and town designs.
