Pompeii, Archaeological site near Naples, Italy
The city extends over 66 hectares, containing temples, residences, commercial buildings, and public spaces preserved under volcanic ash from Mount Vesuvius.
The Roman settlement flourished between the 6th century BC and 79 AD until the catastrophic eruption of Mount Vesuvius buried it under meters of ash.
The excavated ruins reveal detailed frescoes, mosaics, and architectural elements that document the daily activities and social structures of Roman society.
Visitors can explore more than 50 excavated buildings, including the Villa of Mysteries, the Forum, and the amphitheater through designated walking paths.
The volcanic materials created precise molds of residents' bodies at the moment of their death, preserving their final positions for archaeological study.
