Follow your guide through the site of Pompeii. You will discover the Forum, that was the heart of Pompeii and surrounded by important public buildings, including the Basilica, the Temple of Jupiter, and the Macellum (food market), the Forum provides insights into the civic life of Pompeii.
Teatro Grande
The Large Theatre was built by exploiting the natural slope of the hill for the construction of the auditorium. The staircase was separated into three areas with corridors, which were in turn divided into five sectors, and was based on a passage with a barrel vault. It was built around the middle of the 2nd century BC and significantly restored according to the Roman stlye. An inscription, visible at the entrance of the corridor that provides access to the east and that is one of the very few representations known with reference to the name of the architects, recalls the works carried out in the Augustan age by Marcus Artorius Primus.
Foro de Pompeya
The Civil Forum is the core of daily life of the city and is the focal point of all the main public buildings for city administration and justice, business management, and trade activities such as markets, as well as the main places of citizen worship.
