Stabiae: Villa Arianna and Villa San Marco archaeological site near Pompeii
The Scavi di Stabia is an archaeological site located near the modern town of Castellammare di Stabia, just a short distance from Pompeii. This ancient Roman settlement was buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD, much like Pompeii and Herculaneum, but it remains less explored, offering a quieter, more intimate experience for visitors.

​The site features well-preserved villas, such as the Villa San Marco and Villa Arianna, which are renowned for their expansive layouts, beautiful frescoes, and intricate mosaics. The villas highlight the luxurious lifestyle of the Roman elite, with open courtyards, bathing complexes, and scenic views of the Bay of Naples. Excavations continue to reveal more about daily life in ancient Stabiae, making it a fascinating site for history enthusiasts.
