Stabiae - Villa Arianna and Villa San Marco
Stabiae was an ancient Roman town, located close to the modern town of Castellammare di Stabia approximately 4.5km southwest of Pompeii. It was positioned on a 50m high headland overlooking the Gulf of Naples. Being only 16km from Mount Vesuvius, this seaside resort was largely destroyed by two meters of tephra ash in 79 AD.
