🏛 The impluvium was a shallow sunken basin designed to collect rainwater from the roof, which was intentionally open above (called the compluvium). As rain fell, it was beautifully guided into the impluvium, where it would be stored or funneled into underground cisterns for daily household use 💧

The example in this post comes from the House of Neptune and Amphitrite in Herculaneum, one of the best-preserved homes of the ancient Roman world. Just look at how the impluvium still stands in the middle of the room — surrounded by vibrant frescoes, colorful mosaics, and the echoes of daily life from nearly 2,000 years ago.

💭 Can you imagine entering this home as a guest, hearing the gentle splash of rain in the impluvium, seeing your reflection in the water, and being surrounded by art dedicated to sea gods and mythological tales?

This isn't just architecture, it's an experience.
And during our guided tours, we don't just show it to you, we explain how the Romans lived, loved, and used every part of their home.

From intricate geometric patterns to stunning depictions of gods, animals, and daily life, mosaics were more than decoration — they were expressions of wealth, culture, and identity. Crafted from tiny pieces of colored stone, glass, and ceramic, these masterpieces have survived centuries, preserving the brilliance of Roman artistry and craftsmanship.

Wandering through the ruins of Pompeii, it's impossible not to be mesmerized by the detail and storytelling woven into these timeless artworks. Each mosaic invites us to connect with a civilization long gone, yet forever alive in its art.
