Amalfi Coast | La Villa Marittima

The Villa Marittima dates back to the beginning of the 1st century A.D.. Of the building, originally on two levels, only a few rooms adorned with stuccoes and the remains of frescoes organized around the viridarium, surrounded by an arched portico, are visible. Also interesting are the triclinium and the spa. On the terrace, corresponding to the upper floor, there is the attached antiquarium, which collects paintings and Roman material found in other villas in the area. The rich pictorial decorations of the triportico and of the internal rooms, allow to place the original layout of the villa in the Julio-Claudian age.
