Visit of the Villa rustica del torchio di Quarto
Quarto, via Masullo near the shopping center Quarto nuovo.
The guided tour of the rustic villa will allow you to discover the aspects of the rural world and the rustic villas that were located in the countryside of Puteoli. The villa of the press was unearthed in 2006 and is the only one that can be visited in the Phlegraean Fields. The building has a quadrangular layout, preceded by a courtyard with a portico on pillars. Presumably built in the last years of the second century. to. C., the structure has various construction phases and subsequent modifications, which testify to a continuity of life up to the IV-V century. d. C.
The discovery in some rooms of the villa of a torcularium and a wine cellar allows us to hypothesize that the building was a wine production center that had allowed the owners to enrich themselves, a hypothesis supported by the presence of a substantial number of coins found.
