Following the eruption of Mount Vesuvius

What is unique about the country I live in?

Of course, first of all, its huge historical heritage.

In the city of Stabia (today Castellamara di Stabia) among gardens, gardens, a bed with tomatoes and strawberries hide 2 grandiose buildings of the Roman period. When I first got here, I could hardly believe my eyes... two buildings 8,000 and 11,000 square meters! Yes, that's right, I didn't make a mistake in typing!

Two grandiose villas buried by the volcano Vesuvius, in 79 BC together with Pompeii and Herculaneum and other cities. For thousands of years, people continue to live on the slopes of Mount Vesuvius, continue to grow delicious vegetables and fruits, wine and as if not notice those silent witnesses to past eruptions of the volcano. On the territory of ancient Stabia, as is known, Pliny the Elder died, who with his own eyes singled out and described this tragedy to us. Over time, the territory again settled on top of a thick layer of ash and pumice, after thousands of years, there were gardens and vegetable gardens, among which majestically dominated by two excavated buildings, boasting rich scenery, baths, pools and many other secrets of ancient life.

This trip is recommended for real lovers and connoisseurs of the Roman era and for those who want to see how the richest stratum of the population lived 2000 years ago.

The trip is compatible with a visit to Pompeii, Herculaneum or Mount Vesuvius.
