Forum of Pompeii, Archaeological site in Pompei, Italy
The Forum of Pompeii represents the central gathering space of the ancient city, featuring stone-paved rectangular grounds surrounded by temples and administrative buildings.
The initial construction of the Forum dates to the 6th century BCE, with significant modifications occurring during the reign of Emperor Augustus in the 2nd century BCE.
The Forum contained numerous religious structures, including the Temple of Jupiter, which reflected the fundamental role of Roman deities in daily civic activities.
Visitors can purchase tickets at the Piazza Esedra entrance, where information desks provide maps and arrange guided tours of the archaeological complex.
Excavations within the Forum revealed preserved human remains, indicating residents sought refuge in this central location during the Mount Vesuvius eruption of 79 AD.
