La villa dei Misteri - Pompei

[LucioV]

One of the greatest findings in Pompei was "La villa dei misteri"; a 90 rooms perfectly preserved I century BC Roman villae with wonderful paintings, like this.

I will share more about this great place in another thread.

Is this place previously excavated from the volcanic ash? Would be amazing to hear more about this.

Hi @LucioV really great findings and this is really good art from ancient. Waiting for others.

Yes @StephenAbraham this is a great example of how destruction of this city made ourself able to discover this treasure; it's like a giant time capsule, the size of a city.

This villa is perfectly preserved, and you can literally walk along corridors with original paintings, like this.

The building is from II BC, but main frescos are from I BC.

You can't imagine the sensation you feel when you stare in front of this great art from more than 2 thousand years ago.

I will open a thread for my saturday visit to Pompei in terms of accessibility.
