VILLA DEI MISTERI

This is one of the most famous, interesting attractions of Pompeii. It’s a bit of a hike, in fact it’s outside the city walls but you really have to see this rustic villa.  Originally the people there would have worked the land, archeologists found presses for wine making and large kitchens and ovens that weren’t the norm to Pompeii.
The residential pat of the villa is amazing in its luxurious  style and comfort.  There  are many decorations and afrescoes, but nothing comparable to a painting 17 metres in length and 3 metres wide found in the dining area.  A beautiful piece of work depicting a scene ‘Dionisiaco’  which means ‘MYSTERIES’.
