Villa Poppaea, Roman villa in Torre Annunziata, Italy
The seaside Villa Poppaea extends across 10,000 square meters, featuring over 90 rooms adorned with preserved frescoes and marble columns.
The villa remained buried under volcanic material following Mount Vesuvius's eruption in 79 AD until its rediscovery during the Sarno aqueduct construction.
The villa's frescoes display Second and Fourth Style Roman painting techniques, creating illusionistic effects through detailed architectural representations.
The archaeological site connects to nearby Pompeii and Herculaneum through combined entrance tickets and stands near Torre Annunziata's Circumvesuviana train station.
The 60-meter swimming pool borders thirteen separate gardens containing remnants of ancient olive, lemon, apple, and plane trees.
