History
Casa del Citarista is a large residential property located at I.4.5/25 in the ancient city of Pompeii. It was named for the bronze statue of Apollo playing the cithara found in the central peristyle. Located at the intersection of the Via dell'Abbondanza and the Via Stabiana, the Casa del Citarista was a wealthy residence as evidenced by its notable wall paintings, mosaics, and bronze statues -- all of a high quality.
