In the 2nd century B.C., the Forum was enlarged, deciding to replace the traditional tufa paving with travertine. At the same time, the square also became the site of numerous workshops and public buildings. At the centre of the Agora rose the famous temple of Apollo, which is still one of the oldest cult buildings in Pompeii. Inside the temple, in addition to the cult of the god Apollo, the cult of Mercury was also celebrated. The archaeological park is very large, about 44 hectares, so you need at least two hours for a quick visit and a full day to admire them all.
