Vacone. Villa of Horace

The villa was donated to Horace by Maecenas in 33 BC and is located in Vacone.

Today you can admire the monumental cryptoporticos, the mosaics, the floors of 'opus spigatum', the nymphaeum, phallic symbols, walls and even some production facilities necessary for the maintenance of the olive mill.
