House of the Dioscuri

The Casa dei Dioscuri, a Roman house buried by the eruption of Vesuvius in 79 AD, was uncovered during the archaeological excavations of ancient Pompeii. One of the city’s largest and most richly decorated residences, it takes its name from a painting at the entrance depicting the Dioscuri, Castor and Pollux, now housed in the National Archaeological Museum of Naples. The house is notable for its expansive layout and well-preserved frescoes, offering a vivid glimpse into the domestic life of Pompeii’s elite before the catastrophic eruption.
