Pompeii Archaeological Park
The ruins of Pompeii are a vast archaeological site in the southern Campania region, near the coast of the Gulf of Naples.

The preserved site features remains of excavated streets and houses that visitors can freely explore.

Tempio di Giove Capitolino
The Temple of Jupiter dominates the northern side of the Forum, and behind it stands scenographically the Vesuvius. With the deduction of the colony (80 BC) the temple was the subject of a radical remaking and became a real Capitolium, with three statues of worship of Jupiter, Juno and Minerva, imitating those of the Capitolium of Rome, placed on a high base, So that they are visible to those who passed through the square of the Forum.
Macellum
