The House of Apollo -
named so because of the above statue of Apollo in the courtyard. This house also had an awesome private garden, meaning it belonged to a family or person of the upper class. Now, I know this has historical value, which I respect, but doesn't that Appollo statue above look like the biggest fairy dancing around? |

Entrance to a secret garden...oooooh.... Many of the ex-houses in Pompeii had nothing to recover, so they have ovegrown into cute little grassy gardens and tons of little mazed passageways. I loved exploring these areas!! |
