Villa Oplontis, Torre Annunziata, Italy
Explore the UNESCO-listed Villa Poppaea and discover the captivating ruins of Oplontis in Torre Annunziata. Enjoy an informative audio guide while immersing yourself in the rich history of this ancient residential complex.
The Oplontis ruins are situated centrally within the contemporary metropolis of Torre Annunziata. This historical site is notably referenced in the Tabula Peutingeriana, a medieval transcription of an ancient Roman road map, where Oplontis appears as a location linking Pompeii and Herculaneum.
Among these archaeological remains, the principal structure that can be explored is the Villa of Poppaea. Constructed during the mid-first century B.C., this villa underwent significant expansion under the reign of the emperors and was undergoing restoration at the time of the volcanic eruption. The Villa's ownership has been traditionally attributed to Poppaea Sabina, the second consort of Emperor Nero; however, its true lineage belongs to the imperial household estates.
