The 2,000-year-old garden of Pompeii comes back to life

The Hercules Garden House in Pompeii Archaeological Park has reopened after reconstruction. Also known as the "Perfume House," it earned its name from its possible use in perfume production and sales. The garden's reconstruction is based on philological studies, incorporating historically documented plant species. The Hercules Garden House dates back to the 3rd century and was named after the marble statue of Hercules discovered in its garden. It is a typical terraced residence of ancient Pompeii and is also famous for the inscription "cras credo" (meaning "tomorrow's achievements") found inside. After reconstruction, it is now open to visitors every Tuesday.
