'''Stabiae''' ({{IPA-la|ˈstabɪ.ae̯|lang}}) was an ancient city situated near the modern town of [[Castellammare di Stabia]] and approximately 4.5 km southwest of [[Pompeii]]. Like Pompeii, and being only {{cvt|16|km|mi}} from [[Mount Vesuvius]],
Stabiae is most famous for the Roman villas found near the ancient city which are regarded as some of the most stunning architectural and artistic remains from any Roman villas.<ref>Stabiae: Master Plan 2006, the Archaeological Superintendancy of Pompeii, School of Architecture of the University of Maryland, The Committee of Stabiae Reborn</ref> They are the largest concentration of excellently preserved, enormous, elite seaside villas known in the Roman world. The villas were sited on a 50 m high headland overlooking the [[Gulf of Naples]].<ref>[http://www.sdmart.org/exhibition-stabiano.html San Diego Museum of Art exhibition on Stabiae] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060210095848/http://www.sdmart.org/exhibition-stabiano.html |date=10 February 2006 }}</ref><ref name="restoring">[http://www.stabiae.org/foundation/en/ Restoring Stabiae website]</ref> Although it was discovered before Pompeii in 1749, unlike Pompeii and [[Herculaneum]], Stabiae was reburied by 1782 and so failed to establish itself as a destination for travellers on the [[Grand Tour]].
