Villa Sora, Roman archaeological complex in Torre del Greco, Italy.
The Villa Sora spans three original floors with a monumental structure featuring double atrium designs and a large peristyle from the Augustan period.
Archaeological excavations of Villa Sora began in the 1700s during the Bourbon period, revealing marble sculptures and leading to additional discoveries in 1974.
The frescoes found within Villa Sora represent the transition between third and fourth painting styles, indicating the decorative preferences of Roman elite society.
The archaeological site opens on the first Sunday of each month from 10:00 AM to 1:00 PM, with free guided tours available through advance reservations.
The intermediate floor remains accessible while the upper levels collapsed during the 79 AD Vesuvius eruption and the lower floor lies buried under volcanic material.
