Pompei holds an intense fascination for visitors today. Following the eruption of the volcano Mount Vesuvius in the year 79 AD, the thriving and prosperous town of Pompei lay buried and forgotten for hundreds of years, and excavations still continue, giving us treasures from the Roman period. After the visit of homes with their original frescos, Thermal baths and other public buildings, You leave the ruins (and the guide) and You have free time for lunch.
Then, You continue Your visit with Your driver up to the height of 3,000 ft on the volcano. Up there, You’ll have 90 minutes of free time and You can walk to the very top of the crater and admire the splendid panoramic views across the bay.

POMPEII MONUMENT OF THE DAY
The Lupanar was the official brothel of Pompeii. As a trading town, it was visited every day by a large numbers of people, especially traders from other towns. The brothel is situated at the intersection of two side roads on Via dell’Abbondanza near the town centre, not far from the Forum and the Stabian baths (which had a rear entrance on the Vicolo del Lupanare). Phalluses engraved on the basalt road surface or on the stone set into the facades of houses gave visitors clear indications on how to reach the brothel.

The thousands of examples of graffiti found on the town’s walls are unequivocal proof of what the people of Pompeii thought about love and sex.
