The Getty Villa Museum, which was built on the mountainside, overlooking the
Pacific Ocean.
The Getty Villa is modeled after the Villa dei Papiri, a Romam country house in Herculaneum buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79. Because most of the Villa dei papiro remains unexcavated, many of the Getty Villa's architectural details are based on elements drawn from other ancient Roman homes in the towns of Pompeii, Herculaneum, and Stabiae.
