In the ruins of this buried city there is one area in particular that stands out for its richness and style, the Insula Occidentalis. There, the houses are huge, with beautiful terraces, fountains, gardens... One of these luxurious mansions, the Library House, is of special interest because it is full of unsolved mysteries. With each new discovery, experts are able to expand the history of the Romans who lived there. It's an archaeologist's dream - the city was still, but they bring it back to life.

Pompeii is an incredible open-air museum and endless archaeological site. On Insula Occidentalis, excavations at the Library House revealed much about the lifestyle of its owners. Archaeologists know that it was a life of luxury, a life of ease. But in an instant, it was devastated by the eruption of Vesuvius. The cataclysm suspended Pompeii in time. The Pompeii Archaeological Park teams continue their research, hoping to discover other secrets of the daily lives of wealthy Pompeians.
