Discover the UNESCO-listed Villa Poppaea with an entry ticket to visit the Oplontis ruins in Torre Annunziata. Learn about the ancient residential complex with your included audio guide as you explore
Villa Oplontis
The Oplontis ruins are located in the center of the modern city of Torre Annunziata. The name Oplontis is attested only in the Tabula Peutingeriana, a medieval copy of an ancient map of Italian roads in the Roman Empire, in which Oplontis indicates some structures located between Pompeii and Herculaneum.
The main monument, the only one that can be visited, is the villa of Poppaea. It was built in the mid-1st century B.C., the villa was enlarged in the imperial age and was already being restored at the time of the eruption. Its ownership is attributed to Poppaea Sabina, second wife of Emperor Nero, but in any case belonging to the imperial family estate.
