Torre Annunziata: Oplontis Entry Ticket with Audio Guide

Oplontis – A Hidden Gem near Pompeii

Discover the fascinating ruins of Oplontis, located in the heart of Torre Annunziata. Mentioned only in the ancient Tabula Peutingeriana, Oplontis once stood between Pompeii and Herculaneum as part of the Roman coastal road network. Today, the site offers a rare opportunity to explore an imperial villa that reveals the lifestyle of Rome’s elite. With skip-the-line entry and a digital audio guide for your smartphone, you can enjoy the site at your own pace without stress or delays. Convenience and culture meet in one seamless experience.

Villa Poppaea – Also Known as Villa A

The highlight of Oplontis is the magnificent Villa Poppaea, also known as Villa A. Attributed to Poppaea Sabina, the second wife of Emperor Nero, it was built in the first century BC and expanded during the imperial age. The villa was undergoing restoration when Vesuvius erupted in 79 AD. Walking through its frescoed rooms, peristyles, and gardens, you gain insight into the refinement of Roman imperial life. Close by stands Villa B, a different complex likely linked to commercial activities such as wine production and storage. Together, Villa A and Villa B reflect the dual character of Oplontis: a place of both luxury and economic importance.
