Archaeological excavations at Oplontis
Archaeological excavations at Oplontis, Roman archaeological site in Torre Annunziata, Italy.
The excavation site contains Villa A, a grand Roman residence with frescoed walls, columned gardens, thermal baths, and numerous residential rooms spanning multiple levels.
The ancient settlement of Oplontis was buried under volcanic debris during the Mount Vesuvius eruption of 79 AD, preserving its structures and artifacts for centuries.
The frescoes within Villa A display advanced Roman painting techniques through mythological scenes, architectural elements, and nature-inspired decorative patterns.
The archaeological site opens daily from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM between April and October, with last admission at 6:00 PM and closure on Tuesdays.
Archaeologists discovered numerous amphorae and commercial artifacts in Villa B, indicating its function as a wine and oil trading center in ancient times.
