Casa dell'Atrio a Mosaico

Casa en Herculano IV ordenada en torno a un eje axial y otro ortogonal en el atrio

La cité antique de Herculaneum. Une beauté

Una visita muy especial dentro de las ruinas

Visited Casa dell'Atrio a Mosaico back in 2019 and it's definitely one of the most impressive buildings in the site and worth visiting.This house is named for the mosaics found in the house. The building is one of the largest in the archaeological site and must’ve belonged to a very important and wealthy person. The building itself is well preserved, but the most significant part of the building is mosaic that covers the entrance of the house, extending all the way to the atrium. The mosaic has an interesting checkerboard pattern. The part nearer the entrance has geometric and other shaped designs in the squares, while the mosaics in the atrium had a simpler black or white for the squares. The garden of the building can also be viewed from the street and further shows just how important the owner must’ve been.

Sehenswert, überschaubarer und erhaltener als Pompei wobei man trotzdem 3 Stunden einplanen sollte. Um den Rundgang (mit Audioguide) richtig mit Nr.1 anzufangen muss man allerdings den versteckten Gewölbezugang von der Meerseite erst einmal finden. Ich empfehle vorab den Besuch im MAV Museum.Im Ort selbst kann man auch noch zu normalen Preisen essen und ist nicht Touristisch überfüllt.

A pesar de que es mas pequeño que Pompeya, tiene algunas edificaciones que son mejores que las de allí.Es una joya.Es una pena que la mayor parte de la ciudad antigua esté enterrada por la ciudad nueva y no tengan forma de desenterrarla.

Amazing and well worth visiting if you like history. Took about 2 hours to complete the tour complete with audio commentary. Sad that a lot of the old city has been covered with the new city.
