Visible from the sea as it is situated on the promontory of the hill of Pompeii. The forum is Hellenistic in style and has a collonade of 95 columns which leads via a stairway to the theatre district. The large Doric temple was built during the 6th century B.C. and dedicated to Hercules, but it was later adopted for the worship of Minerva. The monument had seven Doric columns along its shorter sides and eleven along the longer ones. At the foot of the steps leading up to the temple there is a tomb-like structure which was probably a monument to the cult of the founder of the town. In front of the temple there are three pre-Roman stone altars and a well surrounded by a circular building with Doric columns, and at the rear we find a semi-circular tuff-stone seat which enjoys an uniterrupted view of the the Gulf of Naples.
