Villa dei Misteri, Pompeii

This villa was preserved along with Pompeii after Vesuvius erupted in 79AD. In it you can see plaster molds of victims to the volcano, experience what a working villa that made wine. What's most famous is the well preserved frescas that are easily visible and are among the best examples for Roman art. The site is pretty far from the main Pompeii complex however it is worth a visit. You will come upon a gate that looks like an exit, but keep going and you will go through some gardens and then into the villa.

Simply mind blowing, probably the best frescoes from Pompeii are here. There's an infographic which explains every thing in the fresco. Looks like Romans were really fancy and had art in every room. Think about your house and compare it with this, which is at least 2000 years old.

When visiting Naples or Ercolano or Pompeji you need to get into this villa. Thousands of years old, survived Vesuvio nearly completely! Very well preserved, impressive wall paintings! You need approx. 5-7 mins from the actual park to get here but it is still within the archeological site!

Part of the pompeii experience. You can walk round parts of what was a villa. Amazing to see what was left behind and colours still stand out throughout

This was an amazing walk through history. The entire Pompeii experience a worth it, but going over to the Villa dei Misteri was definitely a highlight from the experience.
