Audio guide House of Syricus in English

In this audio guide, Emily Thompson takes you through House of Syricus telling the story as you walk. In your accent, no need to read signs — just let your eyes take in what's in front of you.

What you'll hear inside House of Syricus:

  • 1
    Main Atrium with Marble Impluvium

    The main atrium of the Casa di Sirico features a square-plan space that forms the first section of this Pompeian house, accessible from the Vicolo del Lupanare entrance passage.

  • 2
    Large Exedra with Mythological Frescoes

    The grand exedra is one of the most distinctive rooms in the Casa di Sirico, remarkable as one of the few spaces completed before the eruption of Vesuvius halted renovation work.

  • 3
    Triclinium with Fiorelli Casts

    The triclinium in the Casa di Sirico is a dining room decorated in Fourth Style, displaying three plaster casts of Vesuvius eruption victims through a window overlooking the peristyle.

  • 4
    Second Peristyle (formerly 'House of the Russian Princes')

    The Second Peristyle, historically known as the House of the Russian Princes, occupies the portion of this Pompeian property accessible via Via Stabiana.

  • 5
    Fauces con inscripción SALVE LUCRU(M)

    The entrance corridor, or fauces, of the Casa di Sirico opens from the Vicolo del Lupanare and leads to the house's square atrium.

  • 6
    Oecus with Decoration of Deities

    This small room at Pompeii sits to the left of the entrance along Vicolo del Lupanare, decorated in the Fourth Style with alternating red and yellow panels on a white background.

  • 7
    First Peristyle with Porticoed Garden

    The first peristyle with porticoed garden at Casa di Sirico serves as a transitional space between the atrium and the property's inner quarters.
