Itinerary

Stop 1

The Foro de Pompeya (Forum of Pompeii) was the political, commercial, and social center of ancient Pompeii. Surrounded by important buildings like temples, basilicas, and government offices, it was a bustling hub of daily life. Today, the Forum's ruins offer a fascinating glimpse into Roman society, showcasing impressive columns, statues, and the remains of public spaces that once thrived with market vendors and civic gatherings

Stop 2

The Santuario de Apolo (Sanctuary of Apollo) in Pompeii is one of the oldest and most significant religious sites in the ancient city. Dedicated to the god Apollo, it features a temple surrounded by a colonnaded courtyard, with statues and altars honoring the deity. The sanctuary's intricate frescoes and sculptures reflect the cultural and artistic influence of Greek and Roman traditions. As a key center for worship and divination, the Sanctuary of Apollo offers a captivating insight into the spiritual life of Pompeii before its destruction.

Stop 3

The Amphitheatre of Pompeii is the oldest surviving Roman amphitheater, built around 70 BCE. It could hold up to 20,000 spectators, hosting gladiator games, animal hunts, and public events. Unlike later amphitheaters, it has no underground chambers, but its well-preserved structure offers a glimpse into the entertainment culture of ancient Rome. The amphitheater’s impressive design and historical significance make it a must-see for visitors exploring the ruins of Pompeii

Stop 4

The Garden of the Fugitives in Pompeii is a poignant and haunting site that preserves the casts of victims who perished during the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE. The garden features plaster casts of people caught in their final moments, capturing the tragedy of the ancient city's destruction. Surrounded by lush vineyards, the site serves as a moving reminder of Pompeii's history and the human impact of the volcanic disaster
