Pompeii - Naples - Italy
Pompeii
Pompeii is an ancient Roman city located in the modern-day Italian region of Campania, near the city of Naples. It was destroyed and buried under ash and pumice in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD. The city was preserved by the ash, which allowed archaeologists to uncover the ruins of the city and its artifacts. Pompeii is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy. Visitors can explore the ruins of the city, including the Forum, the Temple of Apollo, the House of the Faun, and the Villa of the Mysteries. The city also features a number of ancient frescoes, mosaics, and sculptures.
