The "Villa dei misteri" takes its name from the magnificent mural that occupies the walls of one of the rooms inside the villa. It dates back to the first half of the second century b.C and it's located outside the "Porta Ercolanese" at about 400 metres North of the same door.
The mural is well preserved; it's divided in 10 episodes representing two themes: the initation to mysteries of Dionysus and the initation rituals which precede the wedding ceremony of a young lady
