The plan shows the city inside its walls from above, drawn from the outlines of the excavated walls and buildings. Porta Marina and Piazza Esedra open onto the west end, near the Forum, the Basilica and the Temple of Apollo; Via dell'Abbondanza runs east past the Stabian Baths towards the Large Palaestra and the Amphitheatre, next to the Piazza Anfiteatro entrance. The Villa of the Mysteries lies outside the walls to the north-west, beyond Porta Ercolano. Blank areas inside the walls are unexcavated or not mapped in detail.
