It was the main square of the city and represented the political, economic and religious center where demonstrations, tradings and debates took place; it is one of the best preserved of the ancient Italian cities.

3. The temple dedicated to the goddess Isis shows the multicultural character of the city of Pompeii open to trade with the East and Greece. The cell dedicated to the divinity stands on a high podium in the center of the courtyard in the sacred area. There is also a large hall for ceremonies, two other rooms and the purgatorium, a room intended for purification where the water of the Nile flows.

4. This big house owes its name to a portrait of Menandro, an Athenian playwright, placed in the portico and it represents the typical example of the home of a high-ranking family. The lobby is frescoed with scenes from the Iliad and Odyssey, a real wonder!

About Naples

Passionnée et chaotique au pied du Vésuve, Naples est le berceau de la pizza et la porte d'entrée de Pompéi, de Capri et de la côte amalfitaine.

Le centre historique, un réseau dense de rues tracé par les Grecs de l'Antiquité, est un monde d'églises, d'autels de rue et de linge suspendu entre les balcons. Spaccanapoli le traverse en ligne droite, la Via San Gregorio Armeno est bordée d'ateliers de crèches, et la chapelle Sansevero abrite le stupéfiant Christ voilé. Sous terre, tunnels et citernes révèlent la ville grecque et romaine en dessous.

Top-ranked sights in Naples: Mt. Vesuvius (Monte Vesuvio), Via dei Tribunali, Naples Historic Center (Napoli Centro Storico).
