Torre Annunziata is a city and commune in the province of Naples, region of Campania in Italy. It is located at the Gulf of Naples at the foot of Mt. Vesuvius. The city was destroyed in the Vesuvius eruption of 79 A.D. and in 1631.
It is a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1997.
On the Tabula Peutingeriana Torre Annunziata is called Oplonti.
In the communal territory has been excavated one of the richest Roman villae (1st century B.C.), probably belonging to the gens Poppaea, and known as Villa Poppaea.
