Scavi di Pompei, Archaeological excavation site in Pompei, Italy.

The archaeological complex spreads across 440,000 square meters, revealing preserved streets, buildings, artifacts, and frescoes from ancient Roman times.

The eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 CE buried the city under volcanic materials, preserving the urban structure and daily life elements intact.

The excavated buildings contain detailed frescoes and mosaics depicting Roman social customs, religious practices, and architectural techniques of the first century.

Visitors can access the site through three entrances: Porta Marina, Piazza Esedra, and Piazza Anfiteatro, with guided tours available at information desks.

The thermopoliums, ancient Roman food establishments, feature intact counters with deep vessels that held hot food for the residents.
