Pompeii Archaeological Site

Pompeii Archaeological Site is one of the world's most remarkable ancient sites, a Roman city of 20,000 people perfectly preserved beneath four meters of volcanic ash after Mount Vesuvius erupted catastrophically in 79 AD. Excavations since the 18th century have revealed streets, villas, temples, brothels, and bakeries frozen in time, along with heartbreaking plaster casts of victims. Walking the Via dell'Abbondanza past ancient shop signs and election slogans is an unparalleled encounter with Roman daily life.
