OPLONTIS

Located near Pompeii, the site is now included in the town of Torre Annunziata. As a victim of the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79, this quarter occupied by the great Roman aristocrats and practitioners will be updated during archaeological excavations in 1964. See in particular the monumental villa Poppea. Wraparound by a beautiful garden and an elegant portico, the whole had 94 rooms. Paintings and sculptures of all beauty.
