I.3.11 Pompeii. May 2005. Looking east from Via Stabiana.

The area of I.3.9, I.3.10 and I.3.11 were disrupted years ago in the tunnelling of Fontana’s Sarno canal.

Here a grille covers access to the canal.

According to CTP, this area was first destroyed by the workings of Domenico Fontana, between 1592-1600.

Then later, the Sarno canal was deviated to a lower level in 1906-7 to make clear the path of the Via Stabiana.
