Eumachia Building

The Edificio di Eumachia, a public building from Roman times, was buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD and later uncovered during archaeological excavations at ancient Pompeii. It served either as a wool market or as the headquarters for the fullones, the guild of cloth-fullers. Its grand colonnaded portico and central courtyard reflect the commercial and civic importance of this structure, though its precise function remains a matter of scholarly debate. The building stands as a testament to the bustling economic life of Pompeii before its sudden destruction.
