Region V of the archaeological excavations of Pompeii

Region V contains numerous residential buildings with detailed wall decorations, preserved mosaics, and ancient Roman architectural features from the first century.

The excavations of Region V revealed multiple structures that remained untouched since the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

The preserved houses within Region V display evidence of social class distinctions through architectural styles and decorative elements used in Roman domestic spaces.

Visitors can access Region V through the main entrance at Piazza Anfiteatro, where tickets and guided tours are available daily from 9:00 AM.

Recent excavations in Region V uncovered dining rooms with mythological frescoes and houses without traditional atriums, changing previous understanding of Roman architecture.
