Pompeiiinpictures plan of this Insula showing the entrances. 

Each entrance has a specific page on our site with information and photographs.

If your screen is large enough (more than 853px wide) press the entrance you want on the plan to see the pictures.

If you are on a smaller screen such as a phone or tablet you can use the links below to see the pictures.

Only the western street front was excavated, c.1902, 1905-8. It is extremely difficult to see and show exactly where the entrances were. We have followed the plan as Eschebach drew it in 1969, as best we can.

(c.2018-2019). In order to improve the drainage and security for visitors to the site, the soil, ash and exuberant vegetation was removed from the slope of the unexcavated land on the east side of Via del Vesuvio (Insula V.6). This has cleared the area to enable the street boundary wall and rooms at its immediate rear to be viewed from Via del Vesuvio. This has also involved the rebuilding of all the street fronts. We have updated our plan with information from Massimo Osanna.s 2019 book  and we anticipate a new plan will be published at some time. Our plan therfore may or may not show the final number of entrances.
