Antique roman villa covered and preserved by the Mt Vesuvius eruption in 79 AD. Rediscovered and plundered under the Bourbon kings in the 18th century, many well-preserved frescos are still on site, most of the jewelry and other artefacts have been moved to museums.

During the Archaic period (8th century B.C.) Stabiae already played an important strategic and commercial role. The city reached its highest population density between its destruction by Sulla (89 B.C.) and the eruption of Mount Vesuvius (79 A.D.). During this period, on the northernmost edge of the Varano hill, many villae were built taking advantage of the panoramic views. They were mainly residential villas of the elite, with beautifully decorated large apartments, thermal baths, porticoes and nymphaea. At present, only some of these villas, not entirely excavated yet, can be visited: Covering an area of 11,000 m², Villa San Marco is one of the largest Roman residential villae; Villa Arianna, the most ancient, was named after a large mythological fresco on the far wall of the triclinium; and the so-called Second Complex which is separated from Villa Arianna by a narrow lane.

Closed Tuesdays. Entrance Free. Summer hours 9:00-19:00 (last entry 17:30)
